Bug Description

Please add perl bindings.

Shutter is written in perl and they can't create appindicator cause there are no perl bindings.

Is there Perl support for GObject Introspection? We're planning on supporting that more and more.

Cool. Can someone test the current typelib files and see if they work?
Perhaps a small helper "library" that loads introspection?

I'd like to provide a wrapper library but I am a bit confused because of the naming scheme and so on.

I am using Ubuntu 10.04 and I've the following typelib files install:
Indicate-0.2.typelib
Indicate-Gtk-0.2.typelib
Dbusmenu-Glib-0.2.typelib

Here is a nice example of Introspection with gtk2-perl: http://git.gnome.org/browse/perl-Glib-IO/tree/lib/Glib/IO.pm

Which of the above typelib files has to be used to write a working wrapper library? That are my first steps with introspection so please don't blame me if the questions are stupid.

Could you please shed light on this?

As stated by Torsten Schoenfeld via gtk-perl-list:

"The initial release of Glib::Object::Introspection is now available.

As a tarball:

http://downloads.sourceforge.net/gtk2-perl/Glib-Object-Introspection-0.001.tar.gz

or from git:

http://git.gnome.org/browse/perl-Glib-Object-Introspection/tag/?id=rel-0-00-1

Glib::Object::Introspection uses the gobject-introspection and libffi
projects to dynamically create Perl bindings for a wide variety of
libraries. Examples include gtk+, webkit, libsoup and many more."

Any chance to get this into Ubuntu's repositories any time soon?

Nice, thanks. I will have a look at it tomorrow. What happens if
libappindicator is not available ( e.g. on other platforms than
Ubuntu)?

Just noticed this bug. FYI: I'm working on packaging libgtk2-appindicator-perl for Ubuntu. You can follow the process in bug #1032390.
