Or, much more simply:

   use Gtk2;

   $ENV{...} = ...;

   Gtk2->init;


Which, incidentally, is the same trick you use when you have an  
optional graphical user interface:

   use Gtk2;

   if (Gtk2->init_check) {
       create_and_run_gui ();
   } else {
       create_and_run_curses_ui ();
   }
