Gtk2::Deprecated



i hit some severe problems attempting to port an old gtk-perl program today. 
the old program relies very heavily on widgets that are deprecated in Gtk+
2.x, and thus don't appear in gtk2-perl.

since i had the source for gtk-perl handy and gtk2-perl makes wrappers really
easy to write, i tossed together some crappy alpha-quality bindings for
GtkCList, GtkText, GtkOldEditable, and GtkPixmap....  if you want to play
around with it, it's on my homepage:

  http://asofyet.org/muppet/software/gtk2-perl/Gtk2-Deprecated-0.01.tar.gz

comments welcome, patches moreso, but be advised that i'm not terribly
interested making all old gtk-perl scripts run out of the box with gtk2-perl. 
this, inconjunction with a porting guide, may come in handy for a lot of
people, so i thought i'd share.

when i say they are alpha quality, i mean it; i just wanted something that
would work well enough to let me limp along until i can get the *rest* of the
app ported.  these haven't had nearly the tender loving care put into them as
gtk2-perl and friends.  a fair amount of the code is simply copied from
gtk-perl and hacked to make it work in the new context.
