I'm not too familiar with the glib introspection. Although from what I understood the C library that will be binded needs to support the introspection framework, right?

The introspection stuff lives at <http://git.gnome.org/cgit/gnome-perl-introspection>; a slightly outdated description is at <http://live.gnome.org/GTK2-Perl/Introspection>. ÂI haven't tried it lately, but it should be in good shape. ÂAll the pieces for dynamically wrapping entire libraries are there; gio, for example, should be completely doable. ÂUnfortunately, I haven't been able to get round to finishing this stuff up.

Does this means that we no longer need to write bindings by hand? If all we need is to provide a .typelib file to Glib::Object::Introspection things are going to become easier!
