G'day rjohn1,

I'm running Perl 5.18.1 and Tk 804.031 on Mac OS X (darwin-thread-multi-2level). I am unable to reproduce your reported problem.

I ran the code you posted without any changes. I was able to enter text into all the Entry widgets.

I then modified the Save button as follows: 

$f->Button(-text => "Save",
-command => sub { # do something with %info;
    use Data::Dump;
    dd \%info;
})->pack(-side => 'bottom');

I then ran the script again and was still able to enter text in all fields. When I hit Save, I got this output which exactly matched what I had entered: 

{
  Address => 456,
  Business_Address => "jkl",
  Business_Phone => "zxc",
  City => 789,
  Company => "fgh",
  Name => 123,
  Occupation => "asd",
  Phone => "uio",
  State => "qwe",
  Zip => "rty",
}

I always reinstall Tk after upgrading Perl. If you haven't done this, I recommend you do so.
