Yeah, a mere s/Gtk2/Gtk3/ suffices only for very simple apps: there
were incompatible API changes, and as soon as you use anything that
comes from another namespace (e.g. Gdk) more porting work is needed.
Thankfully that porting work is rather straightforward in most cases :)

Amazing! I wish you success in this endeavor. If you hit big blockers,
the upstream gtk-perl mailing list is often very helpful: its archives
have answers to many questions in this area, and if not, feel free to
ask :)

This is helpful, thank you.
