I kind of agree with you.  However,  I really can feel sympathy for 
the point of view that trying to implement the correctly GCd versions 
of GObject is a _hard_ problem.

Maybe,  though,  it is something that can be added later as an option? 
 Getting gtk+2_perl up an running and then implementing an 
alternative view of Gobject in perl (what I mean is some way that perl 
objects and the gtk+ objects would have a one to one corespondance) 
later seems like a reasonable approach.
