Wilhelm's tutorial is for Gtk-Perl, the bindings for gtk+ 1.x.  For the most
part, the basic GTK+ concepts are the same, but the code examples will not
work as written with Gtk2-Perl.  Luckily, the work of porting is minimal. 
Change "use Gtk;" to "use Gtk2;", "Gtk::Window" to "Gtk2::Window", etc. 
Signal connections changed significantly (for the better).  More info here:
http://gtk2-perl.sourceforge.net/doc/porting.html


There are links to tutorials and other documentation specific to Gtk2-Perl on
the project website:
