This event handler *must* return either true or false --- true if you want
event propagation to stop.  You have no explicit return here, so you're
getting an implicit return from the last expression evaluated.

Also, you need to "use Gtk2::Gdk::Keysyms;".  It's a normal perl module,
generated at build time from a gtk+ header, and not included by default to
avoid the memory hit for apps that don't do custom key event handling.
