Here's a simple example:

use strict;
use warnings;
use Tk;
my $top = MainWindow->new;

# use a frame widget as a container for menu buttons

my $menu_bar = $top->Frame->pack( side => 'top' );

# Search menu button
my $search_mb = $menu_bar->Menubutton(
    text        => 'Search',
    relief      => 'raised',
    borderwidth => 2 )->pack(
        side => 'left',
        padx => 2 );

# Find menu buttons
$search_mb->command(
    -label       => 'Find',
    accelerator => 'Meta+F',
    underline   => 0,
    command     => [\&whoami, 'Find'] );

$search_mb->command(
    -label       => 'Find Again',
    accelerator => 'Meta+A',
    underline   => 0,
    command     => [\&whoami, 'Find Again' ] );

MainLoop();

sub whoami {
    my $var = shift;
    print $var;
}

Whenever you click on a menu option, the associated variable will be printed in the console window. This should give you some ideas.
