I can't see anything in the Gtk2::GladeXML API, but it is XML, so you
can parse the file using your favourite XML module; e.g.:

  use XML::LibXML;

  my $parser = XML::LibXML->new();

  my $doc  = $parser->parse_file($file);

  foreach my $widget ($doc->findnodes('//*[name() = "widget"]')) {
    my $class = $widget->findvalue('./@class');
    my $id    = $widget->findvalue('./@id');
    print "$class: $id\n";
  }

The widget class names are the C names rather than the Perl names, but
that shouldn't be too much of a barrier.
