In the GStreamer tarball, there's examples/manual/query.pl that does 
exactly this, and it works for me.  Does it work for you?

Gtk2 is not really relevant for this, but anyway: Gtk2->get_version_info 
returns the version number of the gtk+ C library that the Perl module 
Gtk2 is linked against.  That Ubuntu version 1:1.221-4 is the version of 
the Perl module Gtk2.
