Assuming that the gtk+ devs continue to support gobject-introspection,
you will be able to simply do the following to obtain a first approximation:

    use Glib::Object::Introspection;
    Glib::Object::Introspection->setup (
      basename => 'Gtk',
      version => '4.0',
      package => 'Gtk4');

And 'perli11ndoc' (or directly 'perli11ndoc Gtk4' for the text
interface) would provide API documentation.

If you want the additional convenience and backwards compatibility that
the overrides in Gtk3 provide, then these would have to be ported.
