Wow, thanks.  This answers all my questions on the topic and I
should have my stuff working later today.

I suspect you pasted the wrong source because this program won't
compile as is under use strict.  I'm posting the minor
corrections for future readers.

Added a my here.

Added a my here.

The above didn't work at all and just set the tip to the string
''.  It might depend on the Gtk2.pm version?  No idea.  I used

  $tooltip->set_text("lawl: " . int(1+rand 200))

> my $window = Gtk2::Window->new;

Added a my here.
