# Gnome2(3pm)

Perl interface to the 2.x series of the GNOME libraries

## NAME

Gnome2 - Perl interface to the 2.x series of the GNOME libraries

## SYNOPSIS

```
  use Gnome2;
  Gnome2::Program->init ($appname, $appversion);
  my $app = Gnome2::App->new ($appname);
  $app->show;
  Gtk2->main;
```

## ABSTRACT

Perl bindings to the 2.x series of the GNOME libraries.  This module allows you to interface with the libgnome and libgnomeui libraries to create GNOME applications.

## DESCRIPTION

Since this module tries to stick very closely to the C API, the documentation found at

```
  http://developer.gnome.org/libgnome
```

and

```
  http://developer.gnome.org/libgnomeui
```

is the canonical reference.

In addition to that, there's also the automatically generated API documentation: [Gnome2::index(3pm)](/Gnome2::index/3pm.md).

The mapping described in [Gtk2::api(3pm)](/Gtk2::api/3pm.md) also applies to this module.

To discuss this module, ask questions and flame/praise the authors, join gtk-perl-list@gnome.org at lists.gnome.org.

muppet \<scott at asofyet dot org\> did the initial stuff.
