Intro

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.
