That doesn't work with gtk+ alone.  There are a couple of perl module  
that wrap the Win32 API in such a way that you can call  
GetOpenFileName() to bring up the native win32 file selector;  
Win32::GUI, for example.

I have no idea how this module interacts with Gtk2, no idea how to  
use it, and no idea how widely available it is (aside from its  
presence on CPAN).  If you use it, you'll have to do a platform- 
specific branch in your code.
