gtk2-perl is the collective name for a set of perl bindings for Gtk+ 2.x and various related libraries. These modules make it easy to write Gtk and Gnome applications using a natural, perlish, object-oriented syntax.
Our documentation isn't what we'd like it to be, so don't code in a vacuum. For best results, discuss gtk2-perl with the authors on the gtk-perl mailing list, or in #gtk-perl on irc.gnome.org. If you're interested in helping us write documentation (reference, tutorials, HowTo's), join the list and let us know.
Please report any bugs with gtk2-perl in the gtk2-perl section of the Gnome.org bugzilla bug tracker (look for the "File a bug" link on the lower right hand corner of the Bugzilla page), or on the gtk-perl mailing list. Thanks!
(the above stories are the top headlines from the project's sourceforge rss feed. you can still see the old, hand-maintained news items if you are looking for something that's no longer here.)
