DESCRIPTION

NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE

This module has been deprecated by the Gtk-Perl project. This means that the module will no longer be updated with security patches, bug fixes, or when changes are made in the Perl ABI. The Git repo for this module has been archived (made read-only), it will no longer possible to submit new commits to it. You are more than welcome to ask about this module on the Gtk-Perl mailing list, but our priorities going forward will be maintaining Gtk-Perl modules that are supported and maintained upstream; this module is neither.

Since this module is licensed under the LGPL v2.1, you may also fork this module, if you wish, but you will need to use a different name for it on CPAN, and the Gtk-Perl team requests that you use your own resources (mailing list, Git repos, bug trackers, etc.) to maintain your fork going forward.

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

http://developer.gnome.org/libgnome

and

http://developer.gnome.org/libgnomeui

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.
