I am attempting to use Gtk2 to create a user interface with Perl.

I have installed the various dependencies as described in the GTK Perl Tutorial, and continue to be unsucessful. Here is the test code. 

#!/usr/bin/perl -w 

use Gtk; # load the Gtk-Perl module use strict; # a good idea for all 
+non-trivial Perl scripts

set_locale Gtk; # internationalize 
init Gtk; # initialize Gtk-Perl 

# convenience variables for true and false 
my $false = 0; 
my $true = 1; 

# widget creation 
my $window = new Gtk::Window( "toplevel" ); 
my $button = new Gtk::Button( "Goodbye World" ); 

# callback registration 
$window->signal_connect( "delete_event", \&CloseAppWindow ); 
$button->signal_connect( "clicked", \&CloseAppWindow ); 

# show button 
$button->show(); 

# set window attributes and show it 
$window->border_width( 15 ); 
$window->add( $button ); 
$window->show(); 

# Gtk event loop 
main Gtk; 

# Should never get here 
exit( 0 ); 
### Callback function to close the window 
sub CloseAppWindow 
{ 
    Gtk->exit( 0 ); 
    return $false; 
} 
# END EXAMPLE PROGRAM

When I run this I get the error message

The executable modules for everything suggested by the tutorial.

Can anyone help me on this ??
