that simply means that Glade can't write perl source code for you.  for this
feature to work, glade needs  converter backend, such as dermot's
glade-to-perl-two (which is unfortunately out of date wrt gtk2-perl >= 0.20).

you can still use the glade xml file with libglade, regardless of what the
code generation options are.


there's a tool called libglade-convert which attempts to covert your glade
project files (the xml files) from version 1 to version 2.  since widgets like
the GtkCList and GtkCTree are deprecated gtk+-2.x and therefore absent in
gtk2-perl, your mileage may vary.

that's the extent of my knowledge.  :-(

no, you can use the xml file as is.

i recommend it.  also, there are instructions in the README with Glib on how
to install to and run from a non-system directory, which will ease the pain
and suffering of the constant upgrade cycle until 1.0.
