PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT!!!
Don't use any modules by Marc Lehmann, you will almost certainly regret it later. This author has a history of extreme hostility towards the Perl community and will actively prevent you from using his software if he doesn't like you, or what you do with it.
To give you an example, in the 6.1 release of AnyEvent he made AnyEvent.pm die if you use it together with IO::Async::Loop::AnyEvent. metacpan.org/source/MLEHMANN/AnyEvent...

Don’t bother with this distribution. (Don’t bother reviewing it either.) It contains unfinished Perl bindings for an obsolete GUI toolkit whose last release was almost 8 years ago. (gtk+ 1.2.10, April 2001)
If you think you want this module, you are actually looking for the gtk2-perl.sf.net/ project which has produced bindings to the current universe of GNOME libraries with gtk+ 2.x at the centre. The project’s products are available from CPAN as the GLib and Gtk2 distributions (along with ExtUtils::Depends and ::PkgConfig), plus a plethora of additional bindings such as Gnome2, Gtk2::GladeXML, Gnome2::GConf, Cairo, GStreamer and Gtk2::WebKit.
These aren’t the droids you are looking for. Move along… move along.

No documentation except a README and some POD for the color selection button.
