If I understand your question (and I'm pretty sure I don't), you are trying to make a grid of widgets that has a fixed minimum size but will expand as the main window expands. I don't think you really want to put the grid in a HList because that's for hierarchical lists like directories, not grids. Here's a grid based Tk app that does what I think you want. 

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict; # https://perlmonks.org/?node_id=11136705
use warnings;
use Tk;
use Tk::Pane;

my $mw = MainWindow->new();
$mw->geometry("+0+0");
$mw->maxsize(1000,1200);
$mw->minsize(400,300);

my $scroll = $mw->Scrolled('Pane',
                         -scrollbars => 'osoe',
                         -sticky => 'news',
  )->pack(-expand => 1, -fill => 'both');

my $f = $scroll->Frame->pack(-expand => 1, -fill => 'both');

foreach my $row (0..10)
  {
  foreach my $col (0..12)
    {
    $f->Entry(
      -text => "rc $row $col",
      -width => 0,
      )->grid(-row => $row, -column => $col, -sticky => 'news');
    $row or $f->gridColumnconfigure($col, -weight => 1);
    }
  $f->gridRowconfigure($row, -weight => 1);
  }

MainLoop;
