actually, they do.

properties are the domain of GObject, and the Glib::Object methods get and set
let you manipulate property values on all widgets, objects, etc.  implementing
get_foo/set_foo accessors is then technically just sugar, so only the ones
that are documented in the C API are bound to perl.

  $container->set (border_width => 4);
  $widget = $container->get ('child');


this is also very useful:

   use Data::Dumper;
   print Dumper( \( $widget->list_properties \) );
