This should work better for you: 
#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use Gtk2 '-init';

my $mw = Gtk2::Window->new('toplevel');

my $t = Gtk2::Table->new(1, 2, 0);
$mw->add($t);

my $label = Gtk2::Label->new('Example');
$t->attach_defaults($label, 0, 1, 0, 1);
$label->show;

my $button = Gtk2::Button->new('foo');
$t->attach_defaults($button, 0, 1, 1, 2);
$button->signal_connect( 'clicked' => sub { exit } );
$button->show;

$mw->show_all;
Gtk2->main;
0;
