Here is the beginning lines of the module.

package GTIMs::GUI::Dialog::Report;
use warnings;
use strict;
use Carp qw/carp cluck/;

use GTIMs;
use Glib qw(TRUE FALSE);
use Gtk2;
use Gtk2::GladeXML;
use Gtk2::Ex::DateEntry;
use base qw(Gtk2::GladeXML);

sub new {
    my $class = shift;
    my $self = bless Gtk2::GladeXML->new('lib/widgets/dlg_report.glade'), 
$class;
    $self->signal_autoconnect_from_package($class);

    $self->get_widget('winReports')->{GUI} = $self;
    $self->do_winReports_date_widgets_setup;
    $self->do_winReports_treeView_setup;
    $self->do_winReports_treeView_populate;

    return $self;
}

I can get away with this, and get the behavior that I want. The no warnings; 
use warnings; statements because I get a warning that get_widget has been 
redefined...

no warnings;
sub get_widget
{
    my ($self, $widget) = @_;
    &Gtk2::GladeXML::get_widget($self, $widget);
}
use warnings;
