You need to assign the widget references returned by the constructors to variables so that your first Optionmenu can invoke the second Optionmenu's configure() method to configure the -options attribute.

Give this code a try and see if it works for you. You'll have to replace the list of directories assigned to @myArr with directory names that exist on your system. 

#!/usr/bin/perl

use warnings;
use strict;

use Tk;
use Tk::widgets qw(
    Label
    Optionmenu
);

my $mw = tkinit;

my $selectedDir;
my @files;
my $path = '.';
my @myArr = qw(foo bar);
my $myFile;

my ($Label1, $OptMenu1, $Label2, $OptMenu2);

$Label2 = $mw->Label(-text => "level2 ");
# no -options: we'll let $OptMenu1 configure -options
$OptMenu2 = $mw->Optionmenu(
    -textvariable => \$myFile,
);

$Label1 = $mw->Label(-text => "level1 ");
$OptMenu1 = $mw->Optionmenu(
    -textvariable => \$selectedDir,
    # -command is invoked when the widget is
    # allocated and when a selection is made:
    -command => sub {
        # redirect the output of ls(1) to /dev/null unless
        # you want stderr output on the console
        @files = `ls $path/$selectedDir 2>/dev/null`;
        #foreach (@files) { chomp() }
        chomp @files;                  # chomp() take a LIST
        warn 'configure $OptMenu2';    # who needs a debugger?
        $OptMenu2->configure(-options => \@files);
    },
    -options => \@myArr,
);

$Label1->grid($OptMenu1, $Label2, $OptMenu2);

MainLoop;
