Here's a copy reply to your bug report which for some reason does not seem to make it through:

Is something wrong with vips' gir file? with this > module? Should I do some additional setup for such functions/methods? Looks like you've done everything correctly. Functions marked as introspectable=0 are simply not available from Perl (or any other language). In this case, the reason is that vips_image_new_from_file takes a variable number of arguments (indicated by the "..."), which is not supported by the introspection framework (mainly because the actual semantics of the implementation of "..." are complicated and platform-dependent). Most gobject-based libraries with varargs functions also offer alternative functions that take arrays, but that doesn't appear to be the case here. The Python bindings seem to have a workaround: <https://github.com/jcupitt/libvips/blob/master/python/packages/gi/overrides/Vips.py#L448>. _______________________________________________ gtk-perl-list mailing list gtk-perl-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-perl-list
