popup-menu is new in Gtk+ 2.4.0, do you have an up-to-date version?

You need to wrap the image in a GtkEventBox, since image widgets can't
accept signals.

A dialog is preferred. You may find the CPUTemp applet useful, it
implements a very simple config dialog using Glade. Just copy the
configure() and prefs() methods into your applet code and modify their
inernals as needed.

If you continue to have problems, asking on the gtk-perl mailing list
might be a good idea.
