As farang said, using apt-get with sudo is better on Ubuntu systems. Your prerequisite errors are probably due to not having the Gtk2 or Gtk3 libraries properly installed. The Perl Goo Canvas has various version levels, and at some point it switched to Gtk3.

So, you probably need the Ubuntu Gtk3 c libraries and their associated header files( dev packages). The Goo Canvas c library needs a few associated Gtk3 libs like Glib, Cairo, etc. , and you normally would have to install them in a specific order; but apt-get with sudo should get the prerequisites for you on Ubuntu.
