Hello,
After an unfruitful super search on PM, google and cpan, I am obligated to ask if someone knows if there exists a CPAN module to install the POD info shown here:
Thanks,

Update March 22nd, 2010
Thank you very much for offering your replies! Here is the mystery resolved:

First I must start by stating that I had installed the Gtk2 from the binary Debian package distribution:

libgtk2-perl - Perl interface to the 2.x series of the Gimp Toolkit library

It seems that the Debian folks decided to strip the documentation into a separate package called:

ibgtk2-perl-doc - Perl interface to the Gtk 2.x series (documentation files)

This of course I got from almut's take on the subject (see below). It also seems to me that this is a Debian decision based on the perl policy descibed here: http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/perl-policy/ch-perl.html#s-docs

So the final answer here is that if I had installed from the CPAN shell I would have gotten the docs -no mystery there-, and that Debian's perl policy allows to separate code and docs when it comes to Perl. I guess in this case it make sense anyway because the POD source (my original question) is in the XS files, not the pm modules - duh!. Finally I want to point out that I just installed Gtk2 on FreeBSD using the CPAN shell, and the docs were installed perfectly.

Thanks again,
Alejandro Imass
