gtk2-perl currently plans to have 2.4.0 bindings ready as soon as we 
get our hands on a 2.4.0 tarball; we have experimental support for 
2.3.0 already.  i am talking to the other developers about whether we 
think we can have things ready by this date.

a practical problem: many particular APIs don't make sense until you 
see code that uses them, so you can figure out how they should be 
bound.  is there sufficient example code for all of the core libraries, 
especially the brand new bits in cvs?  where should we look?

we do not currently have bindings for all of the core libraries, but we 
do have a significant portion of them bound.  what subsets would be 
omittable, and all that sort of thing?  it would be nice to have at 
least the base of gtk2-perl get the wide distribution of being part of 
gnome, so that we'll have a larger user base for testing and 
recruiting, in order to pull more complete stuff together by 2.8.0.
