Could you please care to elaborate more about this "nightmare"-like experience that you have had while installing the Perl bindings? With Debian, is a simple matter of getting the packages, which are clearly labelled as libgtk2-perl, libgnome2-perl, etc., conforming to the Debian naming rules. The Debian packages has been included in Unstable before the Perl bindings entered the Platform Bindings project. BTW: If you meant gtk-perl, that is the Perl bindings to the GTK+ 1.2.x, these are old and unmaintained - and not part of the GNOME Platform Bindings. But, on a side-note, I agree with your point: having a binding set and not having a full meta-package which depends on the single bindings' packages is wrong; but this is a per-distribution matter, and should be resolved by each distribution.
