if you're just looking for the values, the Gtk2::enums manpage lists  
all the enums and flags (with values) for the Gtk2 module.

Gtk2::api explains general guidelines for translating the C names to  
Perl; for the event masks, you'd have 'pointer-motion-mask' and  
friends.  note that supplying the entire C name as a string  
('GDK_POINTER_MOTION_MASK') is also supported.


if, on the other hand, you have all that stuff correct and it doesn't  
*work*, that's another issue.  what are you trying to achieve, and how  
are you trying to achieve it?  have you looked at the canvas demo  
scripts?  (in the source tarball, and in CVS at  
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/gtk2-perl/gtk2-perl-xs/ 
GnomeCanvas/canvas_demo/ .
