i'm sure you have or would soon find http://www.gtk.org/api/ that's my
gtk2-perl programming starting point. after choosing the online version
of Gtk there's a link to a widget hierarchy that i find the most useful.
as muppet pointed out Gtk2::api will tell you how to translate between
what the c docs say and how perl will work.

you're feedback on existing and missing/lacking documentation would be
greatly appreciated since you are coming to Gtk2-Perl cold. most
everyone else around here has been involved for a while and wouldn't
count as a new user.
