Generally building packages for AS perl with mingw is a pita.  I have sorted out most of the issues in the 
last few years I have been building Gtk2-perl for AS perl, and could send the scripts I am using, but you 
will need MSYS as well (I use grep, which I guess I could replace with perl code, but do not have time right 
now).

The other option is if you can point me to the Gtk2 build you are using, I can compile them for you against 
that version of Gtk2.
