Thanks for the advice. I looked into Frames and this is what I came up with. Although I am still having a small problem: 
my $mw = new MainWindow(-title => 'Calc', -bg => 'blue');
$mw->geometry("300x300");
my $topframe = $mw->Frame(-height => '60', -width => '300', -bg => 'bl
+ack');
my $btmframe = $mw->Frame(-height => '225', -width => '300', -bg => 'r
+ed');


my $display   =  $topframe->Entry(-justify      => 'right',
                                  -state        => 'disabled', 
                                  -textvariable => \$calc)
                           ->pack(-expand       => '1',
                                  -fill         => 'x',
                                  -pady         => 30,
                                  -padx         => 20,
                                  -side         => 'right');

$mw->bind("<KeyRelease>" , sub { &keypress } );


for my $i (
qw/
   7 8 9
   4 5 6 
   1 2 3
   0 . C / )
{
$button{$i} = $btmframe->Button(-text    => "$i", 
                                -width   => '3', 
                                -height  => '1', 
                                -command => sub { &btnpress($i) })
                         ->grid(-row     => $row,
                                -column  => $column,
                                -padx    => 2, 
                                -pady    => 2,
                                -sticky  => 'nsew',
                                -ipadx   => 10, 
                                -ipady   => 10);

$column++;
if($column > 2){$column = 0; $row++;}
}




$topframe->pack(-side => 'top', -expand => '0', -fill => 'x'); 
$btmframe->pack(-side => 'top', -expand => '1', -fill => 'both'); 
MainLoop;

I want to make it so the buttons will expand to fill the frame, so when thw window is resized the buttons will resize accordingly. Is this possible??
What do you think?
The frames are coloured just for testing purposes.
