You have two problems - the first is a typo or a syntax error:

-onClick=>'alert("work");)
[download]

surely should be:

-onClick=>'alert("work")');
[download]

The second problem is one that bites newcomers to Perl often. When you pass arguments to a subroutine, those arguments are part of a list. If you pass another list, then it 'folds' into the whole list. This is what is happening when you give your -labels values - it is a list and the next argument, -onClick, is parsed as belonging to -labels. The quick solution is to specify -labels last. But, since -labels is suppose to be a hash reference (thanks for the heads up cLive ;-)), all you need to do is use curly braces instead of parens:

print $q->radio_group(
   -name    => 'type',
   -values  => [qw(old new)],
   -default => 'old',
   -onClick => 'alert("Work")',
   -labels  => {old=> 'Current Device Type', new=>'Add Device Type'},
);
[download]

A better solution is to use a hash reference instead:

my %hash = (
   old => 'Current Device Type',
   new => 'Add Device Type',
);

print radio_group(
   -labels  => \%hash,
   -name    => 'type',
   -values  => [values %hash],
   -default => 'old',
   -onClick => 'alert("Work")',
);
