I did the CPAN as you stated and configured it then called  install Gtk 
Gtk::Gdk::Pixbuf but it erroroed out the same as when I tried from tarballs. 
The comments it made prompted "do i need gnome installed". 

  CPAN.pm: Going to build L/LU/LUPUS/Gtk-Perl-0.7008.tar.gz

Can't exec "gnome-config": No such file or directory at Makefile.PL line 141.
Can't exec "gdk-pixbuf-config": No such file or directory at Makefile.PL line

Submodule gnome is needed to build gnomeprint but it appears
it's misdetected or not selected for compilation.
Available modules: gtk gtkhtml gtkglarea gdkimlib gdkpixbuf gtkxmhtml gnome 
gnom                                                                                                  
eprint glade applets.

You can disable the inclusion of a module using --without-pkgname.
If a package is misdetected and you still want it to compile
use --with-pkgname-force.
To disable autodetection of modules use --without-guessing.
