Gnome2 version 0.49
===================
The Gnome2 module allows a perl developer to use the Gnome libraries. Find out
more about Gnome+ at
http://www.gnome.org.
The perl bindings follow the C API very closely, and the C reference
documentation should be considered the canonical source.

INSTALLATION
To install this module type the following:
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
To avoid installing to a system directory, since this is a beta release, you
can change the installation prefix at Makefile.PL time with
perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/some/other/place
This will install the module to the subdirectory lib/perl5 under the given
prefix. If this is not already in perl's include path, you'll need to tell
perl how to get to this library directory so you can use it; there are three
ways:
in your environment (the easiest):
PERL5LIB=/some/other/place/lib/perl5/site_perl:$PERL5LIB
on the perl command line:
perl -I /some/other/place/lib/perl5/site_perl yourscript
in the code of your perl script:
use lib '/some/other/place/lib/perl5/site_perl';
