Of course, a micro version mismatch is fine.  The three-part version  
numbers are major.minor.micro.  Gtk+ promises that changes in micro  
version are just bugfixes.  No rebuild of the perl module is needed.

If your mismatch is a minor version, then one of two things happens:   
if the runtime version is an older minor version than you were built  
for, we fail with an error at startup.  If the runtime version is a  
newer minor version than you were built for, then you are simply  
missing perl support for the new stuff in the C library.  This is  
easily fixed by rebuilding the perl module.  (Always use the newest  
stable perl module.)

If your mismatch is a major version, then nothing works at all.
