Nothing to do with Gtk2.

    $ perl -le' \$_ = "" '
    Can't modify single ref constructor in scalar assignment at -e line 1, at EOF

Lose the backslashes in that foreach loop and it'll work fine.

Try Glade. Constructing a GUI in Perl is fine for simple
interfaces, and if driven by datastructures is even okay for
slightly less simple interfaces, but it gets messy fast. See
Gtk2::GladeXML.
