I had a look at how the slots/signals work in Qt 4.0, as that's the main thing 
that would need changing for a PerlQt port. And it looked as though it would 
fit quite well with the way the 'Smoke' library works with PerlQt and QtRuby. 
Whereas the way Qt 2.0 slots/signals worked with function pointers would have 
been impossible to get working with PerlQt.
