eh, according to the generated Makefile i have on my linux system here:

  # FULLEXT = Pathname for extension directory (eg Foo/Bar/Oracle).
  # BASEEXT = Basename part of FULLEXT. May be just equal FULLEXT. (eg 
Oracle)
  # PARENT_NAME = NAME without BASEEXT and no trailing :: (eg Foo::Bar)
  # DLBASE  = Basename part of dynamic library. May be just equal 
BASEEXT.
  FULLEXT = Gtk2
  BASEEXT = Gtk2
  PARENT_NAME =
  DLBASE = $(BASEEXT)

do these lines appear in the Makefile that Makefile.PL creates for you?

note that  $(BASEEXT).dll == $(BASEEXT).$(DLEXT) == Gtk2.dll  (on win32)


by the way, this is the shared object that contains the implementation 
of the bindings, installed in perl's library path, not to be confused 
with the dll that the extension wraps.

does 'make test' pass?  when you're trying to run gtk-demo, have you 
already done a 'make install'?  does gtk-demo work if you invoke it 
like this?

   cd gtk-demo
   perl -I../blib/lib -I../blib/arch ./main.pl

(mangle the paths as necessary on win32 if the /s don't work)
