a button is a container, and when you create a button with new_with_label
(which is what Gtk::Button->new (string) does for you), the container has one
child, a GtkLabel.

try this (danger, will robinson, untested code!):

   # fetch the button's contained child
   $label = $button->get_child; # may be ->child, i don't remember for sure
   die "child isn't what i thought it was"
        unless 'Gtk::Label' eq ref $button;
   $label->set_text ($new_text);
