I'm trying to intercept keypresses like "g" or "CTRL P", or whatever.

The following test scripts works fine under Gtk2, but under Gtk3, I get this error message:

*** Gtk3::Gdk::keyval_name: passed too many parameters (expected 1, go
+t 2); ignoring excess at keyval.pl line 22.
Argument "Gtk3::Gdk" isn't numeric in subroutine entry at
    /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.26/Glib/Object/Introspection.pm 
+line 67 (#1)

I checked the docs (at https://developer.gnome.org/); I can't see any difference between Gtk2 and Gtk3 versions of the ->keyval function.

Any ideas, oh infinitely wise ones?

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use diagnostics;
use warnings;

use Gtk3 '-init';

my $window = Gtk3::Window->new('toplevel');
$window->set_title('Hello world');
$window->set_position('center');
$window->set_default_size(500, 500);
$window->signal_connect('delete-event' => sub {

    Gtk3->main_quit();
    exit;
});

$window->signal_connect('key-press-event' => sub {

    my ($widget, $event) = @_;

    print "keyval " . Gtk3::Gdk->keyval_name($event->keyval) . "\n";
});

$window->show_all();
 
Gtk3->main();
