Working on the theory that the text in a button is a label and that you can
modify the label of a button I tried this

$button->child->set_markup("This is <span size='xx-large'>xx-large</span>");

and it worked.  You can create the label first and add it latter like this:

$label = Gtk2::Label->new;
$label->set_markup("This is <span size='xx-large'>xx-large</span>");
$button = Gtk2::Button->new;
$button->add($label);

The colors can be changed[1] using a similar tag.  You can find out more about
the markup language at

[1] It is a very bad idea to change colors or to rely on colors to impart
information.  You may wish to read the HIG (human interface guidelines) at
http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/1.0/
paying close attention to
http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/1.0/layout.html
