------- Comment #5 from Sergei Steshenko  2006-05-09 23:24 UTC -------
I did some debugging, and the problem is that only "require 'CodeGen.pm';=
"
is present, but "use Glib::CodeGen;" is not, rather, it is present in the
place it has no effect.

If one reads

perldoc
/mnt/removable4/sergei/build_work/install/Glib-1.120/lib/perl5/site_perl/=
5.8.7/i386-linux/Glib/CodeGen.pm

(my locally installed 'Glib'), he/she sees in the very beginning:

"
Glib::CodeGen(3)                                                         =
   =20
User Contributed Perl Documentation                                      =
     =20
                Glib::CodeGen(3)



NAME
       Glib::CodeGen - code generation utilities for Glib-based bindings.

SYNOPSIS
        # usually in Makefile.PL
        use Glib::CodeGen;
".

The "# usually in Makefile.PL" is indeed important.

Please reread manpage on 'require' - it's runtime, not compiletime, opera=
tor.

That's why "use Glib::CodeGen;" has no effect, even though it is present
in Makefile.PL:

"
     63 require 'CodeGen.pm'; # other modules should 'use Gtk2::CodeGen;'=
 --
     64                       # we can't because it's not installed yet.
".

'CodeGen.pm' in its turn contains "use base 'Glib::CodeGen';"

      1 package Gtk2::CodeGen;
      2
      3 use strict;
      4 use warnings;
      5 use Carp;
      6 use IO::File;
      7 use base 'Glib::CodeGen';

, but, as I said, it has no effect, since 'use' statements are not execut=
ed
at runtime, unless they are eval'ed.

I have found two very simple solution, and I have proof that with the ori=
ginal
Makefile.PL Glib::CodeGen is not "in the picture".

Wait a little, I'll upload the files.
