You do not show a menu. It may be that you actually mean a dialog. Possibly the following will help:

use strict;
use warnings;
use Tk;
use Tk::DialogBox;

my $main = MainWindow->new();
my $Action_Submit = $main->Button(-text => 'Submit', -command => [\&ge
+t_input ])->place(-x => 700, -y => 45);
my $Action_Exit = $main->Button(-text => 'Exit', -command => [$main =>
+ 'destroy'])->place(-x => 700, -y => 115);

$Action_Submit->pack ();
$Action_Exit->pack ();

MainLoop;

# This menu has several radio and action buttons. Once
# filled out, I want to first pull all of the data input
# into the menu and place them into variables....then exit. However, t
+his does
# not Exit the menu as i would think it should. Instead the menu stays
+ active
# until we actually exit the script.

sub get_input {
    
    my $dlg = $main->DialogBox(-title => "Options", -buttons => ["OK",
+ "Cancel"]);
    my $name;
    my $nameEdit = $dlg->add ('Entry', -textvariable => \$name)->pack 
+();
    
    return if $dlg->Show () ne 'OK';
    
    print "Name is $name\n";
}
