The reason Net::DBus doesn't allow use of GLib currently is that I
didn't want to force user's Net::DBus to have glib shared libraries
installed. To address this issue I am creating a separate
Net::DBus::GLib module to provide integration with the GLib event loop.
The code to use GLib event loop instead of the pure-Perl reactor would
look something like:
my $bus = Net::DBus::GLib->session();
my $service = $bus->export_service("org.designfu.SampleService");
my $object = SomeObject->new($service);
Glib::MainLoop->new()->run();
Will update this ticket when the GLib addon is available.
