Aha!

$img = Gtk2::Image->new;
$img->set_from_file("/path/to/file.xpm");
$img->set_from_pixbuf($img->get_pixbuf->scale_simple(16, 16, "hyper"));

Does exactly what I need :) Thanks for the help there. I think my main
problem is trying to resolve all the 'bits' of an image
(image/pixbuf/etc) that I need to know.
