Name : perl-Gtk2
Product : Fedora EPEL 6
Version : 1.2495
Release : 1.el6

Summary : Perl interface to the 2.x series of the Gimp Toolkit library
Description :
This module allows you to write Gtk+ graphical user interfaces in a
perlish and object-oriented way, freeing you from the casting and
memory management in C, yet remaining very close in spirit to original
API. Find out more about Gtk+ at http://www.gtk.org.

Update Information:
Update to 1.2495 to resolve an incorrect memory management issue in Gtk2::Gdk::Display::list_devices, which can potentially lead to arbitrary code execution.
