It's a property on the settings object, not on the toolbar object.

$toolbar->get_settings->set ('gtk-enable-tooltips' => TRUE);

It's best to use sandboxes for this sort of thing, for exactly this  
reason.

To install a nonstandard or development gtk+, use jhbuild.  Then you  
can set up an installation of gtk2-perl in the same installation root,  
and mangle the environment in shells for which you want to use it.
