Arnold Putz has recently (e.g., june or so) created activestate PPMs of 
Gtk2 and Glib 1.043.  I do not personally know of win32 binaries for 
Gtk2::GladeXML.

i have posted to the list at least twice instructions on how to set up 
the build environment on win32 to get gtk2-perl to compile, but have 
personally never had success creating binary packages (i just don't 
really know what i'm doing in that arena).

so, the answer to both questions is "check the archives".  use google 
to do it, as the search facility on lists.gnome.org has been broken for 
a very long time.

a few moments of googling reveals:

(a little outdated, but still largely relevant --- the patch listed on 
sourceforge for Gtk2-1.00 is still good and necessary)

if you have any more questions (i'm sure you will ;-) then try to catch 
me in irc after about 7pm EDT.
