Emmanuele,
Quite a few of the examples I use are based on examples from the C and
Python tutorials. I will check out the Vala tutorial and see what I can
"borrow" from their.

I apologize, I clearly wasn't clear.

what I meant was literally making a Perl translation of the Beginner's Tutorial:

  http://developer.gnome.org/gnome-devel-demos/unstable/tutorial.py.html.en

this tutorial is pretty good at introducing GTK+ to a new developer
(they have been written by new developers for new developers :-)) and
the docs team is going to expand them with other technologies of the
GNOME platform available through introspection.

the documentation and code are available in Git:

  http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-devel-docs

the translation should then go on developer.gnome.org, and it will be
translatable and available even off line.

this would improve the visibility of the Perl bindings in the GNOME
platform as well.

ciao,
 Emmanuele.

If no one else is interested, I'll take a stab at it.  I've already
written a series of examples here
(https://github.com/dave-theunsub/gtk3-perl-demos), and it probably
wouldn't be too hard to change them to fit the tutorial.  Good
practice, too.

Ok, I've finished a semi-decent draft of a Perl version of the Python
tutorial.  Anyone know how to get it onto gnome.org now?  I've asked
on gtk+ IRC channel but have not received an answer yet... is there a
better place to ask?

Also, a couple comments on this draft:
1. The Python version uses quite a few GIO examples.  In some cases I
found different ways to do the same objective; in a few others, I just
didn't or wasn't able to do them.
2. The unicode page is semi-weak, and I don't feel smart enough to do
it justice.  If someone else would like to take a stab at writing that
page or $something_else, that'd be just great.

Thanks,
Dave M
