Additional info:
Please consider updating to a newer version.  Newer versions bring a great deal of bug fixes and improvements.   Fedora currently has perl-Gtk2-1.247-1, which is considered stable.  I do realize the EPEL series isn't meant for latest and greatest.

Comment 3 Dave M 2013-10-26 15:10:13 UTC

Hi,

Further testing shows this build may be missing some files.  For example, this build should have Gtk2::Spinner, but it doesn't:

[dave@centos ~]$ perl -MGtk2=-init -E 'my $a = Gtk2::Spinner->new'
Can't locate object method "new" via package "Gtk2::Spinner" (perhaps you forgot to load "Gtk2::Spinner"?) at -e line 1.

Or try

rpm -ql perl-Gtk2 |grep -i spinner

No results.

The build logs show that this build "provides" Gtk2::Spinner, but I'm unable to use it.  I'm going to compare spec files from this and the Fedora builds and see if something is different.

Can anyone verify this?

Thanks,
Dave M
