you should of told more than marc that it was your plan then. the
discussion on the list was going nowhere, marc was pretty much right,
but that wasn't the decision you made with gtk2-perl, and since you
never said otherwise i assumed you still stood by.

i don't really care one way or another. if those are the only two
functions that use the :: syntax that's not what the few people who go
to use them will expect. if the issue was addressed gtk-perl wide that
would be another story, but i didn't even know that was under
consideration.
