we (Gtk2-Perl) have rpms (for rh8, rh9, fd1, and fd2) on sourceforge and debs
(which i think are in the offical repositories) for almost all of the
individual modules. i belive we've been picked up and put into the gentoo
system as well. i wish we'd get picked up into more distros (as everyone does)
but until there are apps distributed using the bindings i don't know how much
success we'll have.

beyond that most intermediate (perl) users are pretty comfortable with CPAN
and that probably is the most common way to get some or all of the Gtk2-Perl
suite.
