It seems that Tie::IxHash is storing the string representation of the
buttons instead of the real values.

Try the following:

$button{qbimport} = [ Gtk2::Button->new('Quickbooks Import') ];
$button{qbimport}[0]->signal_connect( clicked => \&qbimport );

$vbox->add($button{$_}[0]) for (keys %button);
