passing arguments to the

[Gabor Szabo <szabgab gmail com>]

Hi,
I am new to Gtk as you will notice from my questions.

I was looking at the tutorial of Stephen Wilhelm and here
http://personal.riverusers.com/~swilhelm/gtkperl-tutorial/signalsandevents.html
it sais the callback can get a list of parameters like this:

$object->signal_connect( "signal_name", \&signal_func, $optional_data ... );

$object->signal_connect( "signal_name", \&signal_func, @optional_data );

but in my short experiments it seems more like I have to send array refs:

$object->signal_connect( "signal_name", \&signal_func, [$optional_data ... ]);

$object->signal_connect( "signal_name", \&signal_func, \ optional_data );


I also seem to understand that the signal_func actually receives these
3 parameters:
($widget, $callback, $param)

So are these one of the differences between the old Gtk and new new
one or did I misunderstand something ?
