SYNOPSIS

        use Gtk3 -init;
        use Gtk3::WebKit2;
        
        my ($url) = shift @ARGV || 'http://search.cpan.org/';
        
        my $window = Gtk3::Window->new('toplevel');

        $window->signal_connect(destroy => sub { Gtk3->main_quit() });
        
        # Create a WebKit widget
        my $view = Gtk3::WebKit2::WebView->new();
        
        # Load a page
        $view->load_uri($url);
        
        # Pack the widgets together
        my $scrolls = Gtk3::ScrolledWindow->new();
        $scrolls->add($view);
        $window->add($scrolls);
        $window->show_all();
        
        Gtk3->main();

DESCRIPTION

This module provides the Perl bindings for the Gtk3 port of WebKit.

INSTALLATION

Headless Debian based systems (inc Ubuntu)

If you are running an X Server (desktop environment) then you should be fine. If you are trying to install this on a ``headless'' server, then you will need a framebuffer display to take the place of the X server.

The xvfb-run command can do this for you.

With Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, you'll need these (or more recent) extra deb packages:

    xvfb libgirepository1.0-dev pkg-config libgtk-3-dev libglib2.0-dev libglib2.0-0 gir1.2-webkit-3.0

At which point everything should ``just work''.
