This is really starting to sound like a runtime path problem; perhaps  
gtk+ can't find its modules when run from your perl script?  Can you  
run in a C debugger to try it?

That mentions some grief getting symbols resolved, and asks if the  
Makefile.PL shouldn't take care of that.  Makefile.PL *does* take care  
of that, for the MSVC toolchain -- the find_extra_libs() subroutine at  
the bottom.  It only looks for .lib files, though.  We'll gladly  
accept patches to make this work with mingw, too.
