Heh. Well, a response is better than what I got out of my last email to
this list so I'm happy :)

$VERSION is 0.7004, so no that isn't it (unless there is a version
specific problem.)

The applet.pl code (both in the Debian package and in the source) uses
Gnome and not Gtk. Adding a "use Gtk;" so that it calls both also doesn't
help at all. Of course, commenting out the "use Gnome;" line also gives
the same result, as does trying "require Gnome;" instead. 

Additional data points: the test.pl script in the source directory seems
to show that everything is installed correctly- all the other Gnome
samples run fine. So, it shouldn't be an installation problem. The OS is
Debian, last night's woody, so Paolo is to blame somehow :) 

Anyway, thanks for the help, Jake- anyone else have any ideas as to what
might be wrong or how I can do more diagnostics? Thanks in advance-
Luis
