Strange behaviour assigning values to a SimpleList

I've found that if I assign the reference directly for the data list of a
SimpleList, it doesn't work correctly.

This is what I mean:

$mySimpleList->{data} = \ theArrayIWantDisplayed;

That doesn't work; none of the data in the list is displayed.

Whereas, if I use this form:

@{$mySimpleList->{data}} = @theArrayIWantDisplayed;

it works fine.

Any thoughts, comments? Does gtk get mad if I change its pointers around?

Incidentally, it'd be awfully nice if there was a method to update the
data in a SimpleList. Something like this:

$mySimpleList->new_data (@theArrayIWantDisplayed)

would just be unbelievably handy (and way more readable :).
