in that the book will explain how to use the Gnome and Gtk+ libraries
in concept as well as syntax, yes, the book will be helpful. i
seriously doubt it has any specifics on the perl bindings. then again,
i have never seen the book in question, so i could be wrong.
Also, if I have GTK+ for Win32 can I use gnome-perl? I hoping there's
a binary package somewhere if I can.
mmmm, yes, mostly. remember, only some of the gnome libraries have
been ported to native win32. Glib and Gtk2 are known to work; i've
heard reports that Gtk2::GladeXML and Gnome2::Canvas also work on
native win32 but i have never tried them myself.
our faq mentions wayne keenan's win32 binaries for 1.02x; however,
wayne's been busy and hasn't been able to update them. arnold putz
(whitewindow in irc) has been trying to build current win32 PPMs this
weekend and needs somebody to test them; perhaps you'd be the perfect
guinea pig!
if you use cygwin and X, all of gnome-perl is available to you from the
cygwin-gnome2 project: http://sourceforge.net/projects/cygwin-gnome2/
