Here is another example, in case you don't want to use a Canvas: 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use Tk;
use Tk::widgets qw/Photo Animation/;
use strict;

my $mw = MainWindow->new;

my $animate;
if (@ARGV) {
    $animate = $mw->Animation;
    foreach (@ARGV) {
        $animate->add_frame($mw->Photo(-file => $_));
    }
} else {
    my $gif89 = Tk->findINC('anim.gif');
    $animate = $mw->Animation(-format => 'gif', -file => $gif89);
}
$animate->set_image(0);

my $lab = $mw->Label(-image => $animate);

my $start = $mw->Button(
    -text => 'Start',
    -command => [$animate => 'start_animation', 500]);
my $stop  = $mw->Button(
    -text => 'Stop',
    -command => [$animate => 'stop_animation']);
my $quit  = $mw->Button(
    -text => 'Quit',
    -command => \&exit);

$lab->grid(-column => 1, -sticky => 'nsew');
$start->grid($stop, $quit, -sticky => 'ew');
$lab->gridRowconfigure(0,-weight => 1);

MainLoop;
