I don't know about this one.

In theory, you'd ask GTK+ to create a cairo context for a particular
drawable which you could then use to draw on the screen.  This
functionality isn't wrapped in the Perl bindings yet, and is very
unlikely to appear in the upcoming stable release.  We do plan to put
this stuff in a new 1.11x release once 1.100 is out, though.
