Dear Monks,
I'm just fiddling around with the Perl-Gtk bindings (by the great help of this tutorial) and after removing my code to create menus 'the hard way' I went to the ItemFactory chapter to create menus 'the easy way'.

The problem is this line 

  $item_factory->create_items( @menu_items );

with a menu_items array that looks like 

my @menu_items = (
          {
           path => '/_File',
           type => '<Branch>'
          },
          {
           path => '/File/_Quit',
           accelerator => '<control>Q',
           callback => \&main_quit
          },
          {
           path => '/_Hilfe',
           type => '<LastBranch>'
          },
          {
           path => '/File/About',
           callback => \&show_about_msg
          }
         );

But perl just says that 

Can't locate object method "create_items" via package "Gtk::ItemFactor
+y" at ./itemfactory line 114

which is quite sad. There _is_ a method create_item (grep finds it in the binary file auto/Gtk/Gtk.so in the appropriate directory) but that doesn't work with an array of items, at least it seems to me to be that way.

Since the documentation to this great module is ...uhm... not really existant *gg* I ask my fellow monks for advise...
