That looks like a bug indeed.  It seems that the bundle you use includes an old glib version (older than 
2.24.0) without support for variants.  Unfortunately, the exports table (which is only used on Windows) in 
the Perl bindings blindly assumes that there is support for variants.  I'll try to fix this soon.  Workaround 
in the meantime: remove all six lines that contain "Variant" in the file "Glib.exports" in the top-level 
source directory of the Perl bindings.
