you're not missing anything -- both the test and install are broken in both
the most recent snapshots.  and they're snapshots, not releases.  ;-)  i
STRONGLY recommend you do a "perl Makefile.PL
PREFIX=/some/non-system/place/you/can/wipe/easily" and run the scripts with -I
options until we've made a stable release.

there's neither a Gtk2::Gtk2 nor a Gtk2::_config in new-gtk2-perl --- those
are part of the Inline-based gtk2-perl, which you appear to have installed on
your system.  somebody mentioned to me last week that the two modules clash if
one is installed, and you appear to be experiencing that.
