That's what Ross already mentioned:

Maybe it doesn't have to be either-or; it isn't for the core
modules, which are maintained separately and still get bundled
into a Perl release every so often. You can upgrade separately if
you wish to or wait for the next complete Perl distribution. If
it's good enough for the Perl core modules, it should be good
enough for Gtk2-Perl.

Another option might be a Bundle::Gtk2Perl for all the officially
sanctioned modules from Gtk2Perl:: -- though depending on their
tools, this won't necessarily make life easier for packagers.
