It should not.  It should be

  if ($dialog->run eq "accept")

The translation from C enumeration constants to strings is very regular,
and identical to what is done in all perl-Glib-based modules.  We have a
description for Gtk2 at

https://metacpan.org/pod/release/XAOC/Gtk2-1.249/lib/Gtk2/api.pod#Flags-and-Enums>

A port of that to Gtk3 or maybe Glib or Glib::Object::Introspection
would be valuable, I think.  Patches welcome.
