NAME

Gnome2 - Perl interface to the 2.x series of the GNOME libraries

  my $app = Gnome2::App->new ($appname);
  $app->show;
  Gtk2->main;

ABSTRACT

Perl bindings to the 2.x series of the GNOME libraries. This module allows you to interface with the libgnome and libgnomeui libraries to create GNOME applications.

DESCRIPTION

Since this module tries to stick very closely to the C API, the documentation found at

  http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/libgnome/index.html

and

  http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/libgnomeui/index.html

is the canonical reference.

In addition to that, there's also the automatically generated API documentation: Gnome2::index(3pm).

The mapping described in Gtk2::api(3pm) also applies to this module.

To discuss this module, ask questions and flame/praise the authors, join gtk-perl-list@gnome.org at lists.gnome.org.

AUTHOR

muppet <scott at asofyet dot org> did the initial stuff.

Torsten Schoenfeld <kaffeetisch at gmx dot de> took over between 0.34 and 0.36, and implemented lots of tests and missing functionality, and corrected several of muppet's mistakes.
