Binding Variables to Widgets

[Nik Ogura <nogura uma-mn com>]

Forgive my noobishness, I'm coming from a Perl/Tk background.  

In Perl/Tk you can easily bind a variable to a widget, so that any
changes to the widget text are automatically changed in the bound
variable.

Is this sort of thing possible in Gtk2-perl?  Or am I stuck doing
$widget->set_text and $widget->get_text calls to do the same?

Thank you in advance.
