First, make sure your code runs. Yours has an error, so always copy'n'paste a working example.

$fr->RadioButton(
SHOULD BE
$fr->Radiobutton(
[download]

also you should have

use warnings;
use strict;
[download]

which would give you errors like this:

"my" variable %main::A can't be in a package at ./1218747.pl line 14, 
+near "my %main::A"
Global symbol "@headers2" requires explicit package name (did you forg
+et to declare "my @headers2"?) at ./1218747.pl line 37.

Your code is hopelessly broken by you trying to setup a bizarre data structure. Where did you get the syntax for %main::A?

Here are a few simple examples of manipulating BrowseEntry widgets. You can modify the @arrays to achieve your limiting of choices. Look at the BrowseEntry widget's browsecmd. Like -browsecmd => \&do_whatever to my selections. You probably don't even need radio buttons.

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Tk;
use Tk::BrowseEntry;

my $var = '';
my $var1= '';
my @fruits = qw( apple orange bananna grape); 
my @colors = qw( red orange green purple);

my $widget1; # declare here so you can modify it
             # from first $widget

my %options;
$options{'Fruits'} = \@fruits;
$options{'Colors'} =  \@colors;
#print "@{$options{'Fruits'}}\n";

my $mw = tkinit;
      my $widget = $mw->BrowseEntry(
          -label => 'Select the Journal Name:',
          -variable => \$var,
          -state => 'normal',
          -choices => [qw(Colors Fruits)],
         
          -browsecmd=>sub{
               #print "@_\n";
               my $selected = $_[1];
               print "$selected\n";
               $widget1->configure(
                   -choices => $options{$var},
                   );               
               $mw->update;
              }
        )->pack(
