Hi Goran,

I was a contributor to get-perl module a while back in 1998. and 1999. when
Kenneth Albanowski was maintaining the stuff.

Great thing that gtk2-perl is finaly shaping up. I will try to help as much
as time permits.

Is there some ToDo or tasks list so I can fetch any of the tasks and start
contributing?

I would like to take a look at Tree and List widgets, is it OK?

Also, it would be a good thing to have all-in-one widget demonstration perl
script (just like test.pl in gtk-perl).

Yup! That's right thing to do! (IMHO)

Yes, when Tuomas J. Lukka started to add Gnome functionality to gtk-perl all
started to look very messy. I would prefer separate modules!
