Dear Monks,
about a month ago I've found a very nifty and simple client/server application example which is written in Perl+Gtk2. Unfortunately it's pretty outdated and I just can't start it.
First I had to change Gtk2->init(\@ARGV); to Gtk2::init(\@ARGV); and I came a bit further.
I played for hours to get over this hurdle. But right now I'm stuck with the GSignal thing.
In fact this is the part, which won't work for me: 

 Gtk2::GSignal->connect($button_poll,"clicked", \&poll_host);

 Gtk2::GSignal->connect($button_exit,"clicked", \&exit_app);

When I start the app, following error message appears:
$ ./client-gui.pl
Can't locate object method "connect" via package "Gtk2::GSignal" (perh
+aps you forgot to load "Gtk2::GSignal"?) at ./client-gui.pl line 91.
$

When I load "Gtk2::GSignal", then I get this message:
$ ./client-gui.pl
Can't locate Gtk2/GSignal.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/local/lib/pe
+rl5/5.10.1/BSDPAN /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.1/mach /usr/loc

+ocal/lib/perl5/5.10.1 .) at ./client-gui.pl line 13.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./client-gui.pl line 13.

Now I don't know how to install Gtk2/GSignal. Simply issuing "install Gtk2::GSignal" or "install GSignal" in cpan shell won't work.
It seems that this GSignal thing doesn't even exist.
Here's the link to the full client-gui.pl source code:

Can anybody help me with this?

Kind regards,
