Warning, newSVgchar is a wrapper to convert a newly-allocated
gchar* into a perl object, to not leak memory when calling gtk
functions that do allocate a gchar* when called. If you look at
the prototype of gtk_entry_get_text, it isn't the case, so if you
use newSVgchar is will corrupt memory and possibly segfault on
you.
