I use slackware Current and this is what I did to make dvd::rip work. The problem with GTK-perl is slackware does not come with an xml::writer, xml:

arser perl modules. You will have to first get this perl modules installed to get gtk-perl to compile. You can use perl to install the modules with a command that looks something like this.
perl -MCPAN -e 'install xml::writer'
perl -MCPAN -e 'install xml:

arser'
Please make sure you RTFM before changing, adding, deleting etc. any modules in perl. Look at the perl website for more info on this convenient tool.

After compile gtk-perl, transcode and all the other requirements from the dvd::rip website. This should be enought to get dvd::rip up and running.
