DESCRIPTION

42       Gtk2::MessageDialog is a dialog with an image representing the type of
43       message (Error, Question, etc.) alongside some message text.  It's
44       simply a convenience widget; you could construct the equivalent of
45       Gtk2::MessageDialog from Gtk2::Dialog without too much effort, but
46       Gtk2::MessageDialog saves typing and helps create a consistent look and
47       feel for your application.
48
49       The easiest way to do a modal message dialog is to use "$dialog->run",
50       which automatically makes your dialog modal and waits for the user to
51       respond to it.  You can also pass in the GTK_DIALOG_MODAL flag when
52       creating the MessageDialog.
