Glade is fairly straight forward, you just feed the resulting XML file
from the builder to its setup and wahlah instant gui. So really, all
you need to install is Gtk2::GladeXML and hope the deps compile in
cygwin or however you are compiling the XS. Make sure the header files
are installed for that gladewin32 (ie, the development environment
installer)

Of course, whatever that entails (ie, if you use Gnome widgets, what
does that ultimately mean for a win32 environment?), is left an
exercise to the reader.

I do want to second Whitney's suggestion to do the gui another way.
Doing Gtk development in win32 land is (or at least it once was)
painful to do. XUL might be a better option since it is fairly well
supported because of firefox. Then again, there are a handful of
successful GTK2 apps that build and run on win32 just fine (gaim being
a prime example).

This is going to probably be poo-poo'ed on, but have you considered
developing the app in C# and using Winforms? If the target platform is
windows use the tools that come native, you know? If you are scared to
go full throttle into MSland, then use Mono and Gtk# (heck even
Winforms since their support is pretty damn good at this point) and
that way your app is portable with a minimal amount of fuss.

If your heart isn't set on POE + GTK2, I would at least consider the
tools native to the platform.

okay, heres the story
I am developing a messenger app for my school (win32), currently I am using
POE + Tk
Then I wanted a GUI  GUI-maker.  someone pointed me to Glade (which is Gtk,
Glib, etc)


i found http://gladewin32.sourceforge.net  which installed glib, glade, gtk,
etc or whatever, and now I am trying to install the necessary Perl modules

just wondering if anyone has any pointers or if you want me to paste the
specific CPAN.pm log I can
