renegadex has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

how can I use this using perl and goo::canvas? please see the documentation: http://library.gnome.org/devel/goocanvas/unstable/goocanvas-goocanvasitem.html#goo-canvas-item-get-simple-transform i have tried the following.
my $x; my $y; my $scale; my $angle; $canvasitem->get_simple_transform($x,$y,$scale,$angle);
and
print $canvasitem->get_simple_transform;
all of this gives me an error, "something is very broken"
