[SOLVED?] Openbox+perlpanel - cannot load NotificationArea applet

Hi,
I installed perlpanel to work with my Openbox, and of course all dependencies required. I have NOT Gnome installed.
The provided NotificationArea applet does not load though, I am wondering if I am missing a dependency. This is the error message I get:

Can't locate Gtk2/TrayManager.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perlpanel /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.1 /usr/share/perl5/site_perl/5.10.1 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib/perl5/core_perl /usr/share/perl5/core_perl /usr/lib/perl5/current /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/current . /home/stefano/.perlpanel/applets /usr/lib/perlpanel/PerlPanel/Applet) at /usr/lib/perlpanel/PerlPanel/Applet/NotificationArea.pm line 21.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/lib/perlpanel/PerlPanel/Applet/NotificationArea.pm line 21.
Compilation failed in require at (eval 24) line 1.

Any clue?
Thanks
gm

there maybe something wrong with line 21 /usr/lib/perlpanel/PerlPanel/Applet/NotificationArea.pm.

Line 21:

use Gtk2::TrayManager;

Apparently it does not find it. No trace of any file called *TrayManager* (case insensitive) on my system.
Does it belong to a package?

Re: [SOLVED?] Openbox+perlpanel - cannot load NotificationArea applet

I solved the problem downloading the source code of Gtk-TrayManager here: http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/cpan/authors/i … .05.tar.gz and compiling/installing it manually. Now the notification applet starts.
Really weird that not only this package is not required as a dependency, but it is not even in the Pacman/AUR repository. Shall I file a bug report?

BTW, I am on Arch64 - if that matters...
