Wrong choice of words.  I intended to say that anything you can call in
the Glib and Gtk2 modules has a class argument, effectively turning it
into Perl's idea of methods: functions with class arguments.

There are many examples:

* Glib::install_exception_handler, Glib::remove_exception_handler
* Glib::log, Glib::Log::set_handler, Glib::Log::remove_handler
* Glib::Timeout::add, Glib::Idle::add
* Glib::IO::add_watch
* Glib::Type::register
* Gtk2::init
* Gtk2::events_pending, Gtk2::main, Gtk2::main_iteration,
  Gtk2::main_quit

etc.

Your code has not been modified yet.
