You would be extremely lucky if anything from Camelbox (Perl 5.10.x)
worked with your version of ActiveState (5.8.9).  If you're going to
try to mix and match Perls, you should at least try with the same
version, but be warned, it may break anyways, due to different
compilers, build processes, etc.  In other words, don't mix and match
Perls.

Something in your current ActiveState environment or your current
install of Windows XP is preventing the Gtk2-Perl from building
correctly.  I think the problem is either the configuration of your
Windows machine, or a conflict with software already installed on your
machine.

If you want to stick with your ActiveState install, have you thought
about asking ActiveState to build Gtk2-Perl packages for you?

Thanks,
