you should use the Gtk2::SourceView module and its widgets: it is more
suited for what you need than the raw Gtk2::TextView widget alone (it's
the same widget used by the Gedit text editor).  the Gtk2::SourceView
widget is a TextView, so every method working on the TextView will also
work on the SourceView.

you can find Gtk2::SourceView on CPAN; its only requirements are the
Gtk2 Perl modules and the gtksourceview C library (which is portable, as
far as I know, on other operating systems than Linux).
