1. new GtkWindow() creates a new window.
2. connect('destroy', array('Gtk','main_quit')) ensures a clean exit when you close the window. This basically says call Gtk::main_quit() when the user close the window.
3. new GtkLabel("hello world!") creates the text string as label.
4. And we use $window->add to place the label in the window.
5. $window->show_all() shows the window and all its contents.
6. Gtk::main() - GTK takes over and starts waiting for events (e.g. mouse or keyboard input).
