Hi, I'm a bit reluctant to ask this question but I'm getting quite frustrated. My platform is Windows 7 64bit with Strawberry Perl 64bit. I've been trying to cpan install Gtk3. It has proven quite difficult with one problem after another (too numerous). I have gtk3 running as evidenced using the gtk3-demo but I still can't install Perl's Gtk3. That install cannot be that difficult so I am missing something quite simple.

As I fix one problem another arises. It can't find various header files needed by it's prerequisites, etc. I have the glib-win32-master zip file and got many headers from there. Before I include the massive amout of output containing the errors, I thought I would see if any of you can point me somewhere describing the Gtk3 install.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Don
