gtkperl (www.gtkperl.org) wraps the gtk+-1.x API in Perl. The
Good: it's nice, rather complete, efficient, proved stable, kinda
well documented, many code examples exist. The Bad: gtk+-1.x is
deprecated.

gtk2-perl (gtk2-perl.sf.net) wraps the gtk+-2.x API in Perl. The
Good: gtk+-2.x is maintained and has significant advantages over
gtk+-1.x, it's not complete but already features probably all
what gtk+ users need 99% of the times (and when users tell us
that a given function misses, we're here to add it rather
quickly). The Bad: it's still under development and not very
extensively documented.
