A container class seems more appropriate than an array, given that you are already working with classes, for example: 
use ButtonJar;
my $jar = ButtonJar -> new();
$jar -> add( $but1 );

[download]
package ButtonJar;
sub new {
    my $self = shift;
    $self = {};
    return bless $self;
}
sub add { # add a button to the "jar"
    my $self = shift;
    my $but = shift;
    $self -> { $but -> id() } = $but;
 
sub remove { # remove a button
    my $self = shift;
    my $but = shift;
    delete $self -> { $but -> id() };
}
sub getall ( 
    my $self = shift;
    return keys %$self; # to return the $widget -> id
    # or could return values %$self or just %$self
    # depending on how you want to reference your buttons
}
1;
