No.  When you see a program name::name (with the two colons between them),
think Perl Module.  If you had used CPAN, this might have been taken care
of for you.


perl -MCPAN -e shell
cpan> install Gtk Gtk::Gdk::Pixbuf

If this is your first time using CPAN you'll have some configuration to
do.

If this seems overwhelming, just go find the Gtk and Gtk::Gdk::Pixbuf Perl
modules.
Gtk-Perl-0.7008.tar.gz
This actually takes care of both.  You'll need some stuff like Pixbuf
installed on your system to compile this.
