BTW: there is a dedicated gtk-perl list, now, followups should go there.

The simplest example is the GtkHTML widget, you could just
copy the Makefile.PL, GtkHTML.pm, pkg.defs files.
Run s/GtkHTML/GtkMyWidget/ on them. Change pkg.defs to
define your widgets and enums/flags or boxed types.
pkg.typemap could be an empty file.
Copy also Depends.pm and tools/gendefs.pl from the distribution 
and change Makefile.PL accordingly.
If all is ok now you just run perl Makefile.PL...
