i'll try.

those are all stuff that's supposed to be defined inside Perl itself 
--- perl's headers define macros that omit the PL_ prefix used by the 
actual symbols in the perl library and executable.

did the test suites for Gtk2 and Glib complain like this?

the modules on CPAN are the old stable version 1.02x, and are a bit out 
of date at that.  the current, bleeding-edge, about-to-go-stable stuff 
is available from http://gtk2-perl.sourceforge.net --- nobody's tested 
them on darwin before.  want to be the first?  feel free to email me 
directly, and/or join #gtk-perl on irc.gnome.org .
