That strikes me as a rather odd observation.  A quick look at the
mailing list archives ( http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-perl-list/ )
shows a steady stream of messages every month.

Not only is there steady traffic, there are questions being asked and
answered by a healthy mix of new-comers and old-hands.  I've long held
this mailing list to be an excellent example of an open source community
in action.  There are a few key people who really set the tone nicely.

A couple of resources that you might find useful include:

 * the examples directory in the Perl-Gtk2 distribution

 * the Gtk2-Perl Study Guide
   http://forgeftp.novell.com/gtk2-perl-study/homepage/
