Perf board circuit design

I'm about to start my first project using perf board and I find laying out
the actual wiring and layout is ten times harder than laying out the
circuit diagram.

Anyone know of a program or guide to help you layout the physical
design of a circuit for perf board?

I heard of Eagle and other PCB design software but I'm not quite
ready to etch my own boards or order them done... is there anything
a bit simpler I could try out?

    Both of those programs will allow you to draw your schematic and place outlines of the chips on a 'board'. You don't have to buy their board, just use the software to place the chips and such.

    Ugha:

    Google "stripboard" and check out this site for an example and free design software. There are others also.
