hi
i'm trying to learn perl gtk2 ,in the tutorials examples there is no description on how to position the widgets in a specific x,y coordinates. the example below from the tutorial have a button, text entry, label,
and as an example for demo purposes and in the main window which have the size (500,400) pixels how can i put the button on (x,y)=(30,50) pixels relative to the main window with size (30,20),
label on (x,y)=(200,50) size (100,50) text entry on (x,y) =(30,300)
best wishes for all
use Gtk2 '-init';

my $window = Gtk2::Window->new;
$window->set_size_request(500,400);
$window->set_position('center');
$window->set_title ("Hello world");
$window->signal_connect (destroy => sub { Gtk2->main_quit; });

my $vbox = Gtk2::VBox->new();
$vbox->set("border_width"=> 10);
$window->add($vbox);

my $label = Gtk2::Label->new("hello world");
$vbox->pack_start($label,0,0,5); # expand?, fill?, padding

my $entry = Gtk2::Entry->new();
$vbox->pack_start($entry,0,0,5);

my $button = Gtk2::Widget->new("Gtk2::Button",
                   label=>"exit");
$button->signal_connect(clicked=>\&my_quit);

$vbox->pack_start($button, 0,0,5);

$window->show_all();

Gtk2->main;

sub my_quit {
    print "bye!\n";
    exit;
}
