Thanks, it works with the most recent version that's in git.

Is it possible to mix Introspection bindings with perl module that has
hand made bindings?
For instance if HTTP::Soup would be written with the introspection
framework and Gtk2::WebKit stay the way it is with hand made bindings.
How can Gtk2::WebKit see the typemaps that correspond to Libsoup
objects?

    my @extra_dependencies;
    my $extra_cflags = "";
    eval {

        require Glib::Object::Introspection;
        Glib::Object::Introspection->import();

        Glib::Object::Introspection->setup (
            basename => 'Soup',
            version => '2.4',
        package => 'HTTP::Soup'
        );

        #push @extra_dependencies, 'Glib::Soup';
        $extra_cflags = " -DGLIB_SOUP_PERL";
        1;
    } or do {
        my $error = $@;
    };

    our $webkit = ExtUtils::Depends->new('Gtk2::WebKit', 'Gtk2',
@extra_dependencies);

The previous code dies as HTTP::Soup is not installed:

 *** Can't load dependency information for HTTP::Soup:
   Can't locate HTTP/Soup/Install/Files.pm in @INC (@INC contains: inc
ext /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.1 /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.1
/usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.10
/usr/share/perl/5.10 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at
/usr/share/perl5/ExtUtils/Depends.pm line 170.

If I remove HTTP::Soup from ExtUtils::Depends then I get this error
during the compilation:
[ XS xs/WebKit.xs ]
Error: 'SoupSession *' not in typemap in WebKit.xs, line 41
make: *** [xs/WebKit.c] Error 1

Is there a way to generate the type map through the introspection
framework or should I declare the libsoup type maps in Gtk2::WebKit
module by hand?
