Hi Adam,

Where did you get this Qt.pm?  I think you must be running the non-smoke 
QtCore+QtGUI distros.

  http://search.cpan.org/~vadiml/QtCore-4.004/

I haven't looked at that much except to determine that the API was 
fabricated from generated XS code and seems to require that every 
string be constructed using a QString() function -- which is not very 
perlish.  The developer also does not seem to respond to any of my 
mail.

On the other hand:

  http://code.google.com/p/perlqt4/

This intends to be a successor to the old PerlQt (3) and will work much 
like it.  Plus, the maintainers of this code *are* on this list.  
However, it isn't on the CPAN yet.
