Your sample code looks very promising. I'm not able to run any
introspection module on my computer. I tried to compile the latest
perl-Glib-Object-Introspection found on git and the unit tests fail:

PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /usr/bin/perl "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-e"
"test_harness(0, 'blib/lib', 'blib/arch')" t/*.t
t/00-basic-types.t .. Can't load
'/home/emmanuel/Projects/perl-Glib-Object-Introspection/blib/arch/auto/Glib/Object/Introspection/Introspection.so'
for module Glib::Object::Introspection:
/home/emmanuel/Projects/perl-Glib-Object-Introspection/blib/arch/auto/Glib/Object/Introspection/Introspection.so:
undefined symbol: gperl_hv_take_sv at /usr/lib/perl/5.10/DynaLoader.pm

No subtests run


This is un VM running ubuntu 11.04 with all dependencies taking for
the official ubuntu repos and perl-Glib-Object-Introspection straight
from the git repo.

What should I do in order to have the introspection framework working?

Good suggestion, I already rushed into renaming to Glib::Soup. I'll do
it once more :)
