according to 
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/libgnomeui/gnomehref.html the 
operation should be as simple as

   $href->set_url ($new_url);
   $href->set_text ($new_text);

or

   $href->set (url => $new_url,
               text => $new_text);

(just tried those with

$h = Gnome2::HRef->new ('h', 't');
$h->set (url => 
'http://sourceforge.net/export/rss2_projnews.php?group_id=64773',
         text => 'gtk2-perl rss feed');

and it worked fine.)

you called set_text with too many parameters.  note the fact that you 
called set_text as a method with two parameters (that's the same as a 
function with three parameters, since the object is an implicit first 
parameter), and the usage message showed you how to call it as a 
function (with two parameters).  the Usage: messages for most of the 
functions in the bindings are automatically generated by xsubpp, which 
shows you the function syntax, rather than the method syntax.  that's 
basic perl syntax, not me, so sorry if it's confusing.

set_label is deprecated, and if it's in the bindings, then it's a bug.  
it has been replaced by set_text.
