What versions of everything are you using?  Specifically, what  
versions of gtk+, Gtk2, and Gtk2::Ex?  Which unit tests failed?  For  
Gtk2::Ex::Simple::Tree, did you also install Gtk2::Ex::Simple::List?

Gtk2::Ex::Simple::List and Tree haven't changed significantly since  
their import, because they are rather stable.  They should be quite  
usable, and we support there here.  :-)
There are more examples of using Gtk2::Tree* in the Gtk2 source under  
examples/ and demo/, and other programs available on the web.  You  
can also try the Gtk+ 2.0 Tree View Tutorial, linked from http://gtk2- 
perl.sourceforge.net/links/ .

This is the place.  The people responsible for Gtk2-Perl-Ex are all  
here on this list.
The gnome.org list search has long been somewhat quirky; try google  
with "site:mail.gnome.org".
