Thank you very much muppet! This clarifies all :-) >From that point of view I will use Gtk2::Ex::Simple::List. Also Gtk2::Ex::Simple::Tree for the treeview. Unfortunately only Debian derivatives have Gtk2::Ex::Simple::List as a package however Gtk2::Ex::Simple::Tree has nobody (except cpan). So there's no getting around to ship both modules together with my package ...
