Gtk->main

[Eric <atatat bellsouth net>]

Hi, I'm writing my first Gtk app and I've had some trouble.

My understanding from the reference documents, tutorials and example code was that Gtk::main was supposed to 
be a loop that does not return.  That does not seem to be the case on my machine.  Even if I run the Goodbye 
World example program from the gtk-perl tutorial, the program exits immediately after the call to "main Gtk;" 
 If I put a print statement on the line after it, it prints out.  I thought this wasn't supposed to happen.

Please help.

PS I've also tried to make my own loop by calling:

while(1)
{
Gtk->main_iteration();
}
This segfaults.
