There's indeed no Perl-specific documentation yet, and I'm not inclined 
to write it.  All the necessary information is available on 
<http://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/> and in the file 
"<prefix>/share/gir-1.0/Gtk-3.0.gir".  A nice little project might be to 
write a viewer for all the information in the *.gir files (which include 
the actual documentation that ends up on developer.gnome.org).  It could 
use Perl-specific syntax so people don't have to do the translation in 
their head.

I definitely do not consider Gtk3 "finished" yet.  We no doubt still 
miss quite a few overrides, and there are one or two low-level problems 
left.

See <http://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/migrating.html> for the 
general migration guide.  Anything not covered there could be a bug in 
the bindings, so please tell us about it.
