As the Gtk2::GladeXML manpage, says:

   $gladexml->signal_autoconnect_from_package([PACKAGE])
       Sets up the signal handling callbacks as specified in the glade
       XML data.  Callbacks will need to have the exact name as  
specified
       in the XML data and be located in the provided package (or the
       caller's package if none is provided).  It is worth noting that
       callbacks you get for free in c such as gtk_main_quit will not
       exist in perl and must always be defined, for example:

         sub gtk_main_quit
         {
               Gtk2->main_quit;
         }

       Otherwise behavior should be exactly as expected with the use of
       libglade from a C application.


In other words:

    use MyHandlers;
    $glade->signal_autoconnect_from_package ('MyHandlers');

or even in the same file:

    ...
    $glade->signal_autoconnect_from_package ('MyHandlers');
    ...
    package MyHandlers;
    ...
