There are alot of ways to do what you want. Basically you need to test for some condiition(i.e. a finished flag), then close the window. Usually you use a timer to do this, but there are other ways. Also, if you call "PoP-It" more than once, you will be gaining memory-size with each call, since you destroy (then recreate) $tp. Only create $tp once, and call withdraw and deiconify on it to reuse the widget. 
sub AddItem {

   my $tp = $mw->Toplevel(
               -title => ' AddItem'
            ); # ->pack(-fill => 'both'); 

   my $tpfrm = $tp->Frame(
                  -background => '#22cc00',
               )->pack(-side => 'top', -fill => 'x');

   my $tplbl = $tpfrm->Label(
                  -text => 'Working...',
                  -background => 'white',
                  -foreground => 'black'
               )->pack(-side => 'top', -padx => 10);

#   my $tpbtn = $tpfrm->Button(               
#                  -text => 'Close', 
#                  -command => [$tp => 'destroy'], 
#               )->pack(-side => 'top', -padx => 10, -pady => 5); 

#start a timer to simulate some working being done 
my $count = 0;
my $timer = $mw->repeat(1000,sub{
            $count++;
            if($count == 5){ $tp->withdraw }
          });
}
