What I do is I look at the documentation for the C-api at 
developer.gnome.org and than kind of guess how this translates to perl 
(also there is an document about api translations). But also the C-api 
is not very exhaustive.

Creat ea button without a label, put the label and the icon into a hbox 
and add the hbox to the button. Use an alignment object to line-out 
everything.

   $label = 'Foo';
   $icon = Gtk2::Image->new_from_file('foo.png');
   $hbox = Gtk2::HBox->new;
   $hbox->add($icon);
   $hbox->add($label);
   $align = Gtk2::Alignment->new(0.5,0.5, 0,0);
   $align->add($hbox);
   $button = Gtk2::Button->new();
   $button->add($align);
   $button->show_all;
