i personally use gtk2-perl on RedHat 8.0 (yes, currently :-/), FC1, 
FC2, FC3, and Mac OS 10.3.6 with Fink.  just a few months ago i had it 
running on vanilla win2k.  several others on the list and development 
team use various versions of debian.  i also run gtk2-perl against 
gnome cvs.

i haven't seen a failure like the one in your log --- but i also 
haven't seen gtk+ not be able to find a theme engine (which your log 
showed), so i would imagine that has something to do with it being 
broken.

try using jhbuild to get gtk+ from gnome cvs.  compiling gtk+ from 
source yourself isn't very fun, and jhbuild takes a lot of the 
guesswork out.
