I can give it a try as the weekend is arriving and it's cold outside
;) I don't have the most recent version of GTK nor perl Gtk2. I'm
using the stock versions provided by Ubuntu 7.10, which is not even
the most recent Ubuntu! I have a few questions:

What's the URL for perl Gtk2 trunk?
What's the best way for installing the newest Gtk2 and all it's dependencies?
How to keep synchronized with the other kind souls that decided to help?
Where can I submit the patches for review (mailing list or RT)?
