Package: libgnome-perl
Version: 0.7008-1
Severity: minor
Mayby its not a bug, if I'm confused I'm sorry, but this from man
Gnome::reference seems really strange:
Gnome::About
Gnome::About Gnome::About->new ($title, $version, $copy
right, $authors, $comments, $logo)
· $title (string)
· $version (string)
· $copyright (string)
· $authors (scalar)
· $comments (string)
· $logo (string)
Why should authos be a scalar when everything else in sight is string?

X-Spam-Level:
The authors parameter in the Gnome::About->new() method call is
described as a scalar in the documentation because it's capable of
taking different argument types.
If you pass a string in this parameter you get a single line of text
in the dialog box. However if you pas an array-ref, you can include
multiple lines in the dialog box.
Unfortunately, both because of the way you do argument passing in XS
code and because most of the libgtk-perl documentation is automatic
generated, there no easy way to reflect this in the documentation.
