This shows a couple of ways. The problem with it is the built-in bindings for mouse button 1 press and release in hlist ( a double listing). But you should be able to work around it, by not using browsecommand. Or you could try to subclass HList and make the ButtonRelease-1 a no-op, or use a right mouse click binding instead. 
#!/usr/bin/perl
use Tk;
use Tk::HList;
use YAML;

$top = new MainWindow;

$hlist = $top->Scrolled("HList",
   -header => 1,
   -columns => 4,
   -scrollbars => 'osoe',
   -command => sub{print 1},
   -width => 70,
   -selectbackground => 'SeaGreen3',
   -browsecmd => \&browseThis,
         )->pack(-expand => 1, -fill => 'both');

$hlist->header('create', 0, -text => 'From');
$hlist->header('create', 1, -text => 'Subject');
$hlist->header('create', 2, -text => 'Date');
$hlist->header('create', 3, -text => 'Size');

$hlist->add(0);
$hlist->itemCreate(0, 0, -text => "eserte\@cs.tu-berlin.de");
$hlist->itemCreate(0, 1, -text => "Re: HList?");
$hlist->itemCreate(0, 2, -text => "1999-11-20");
$hlist->itemCreate(0, 3, -text => "1432");

$hlist->add(1);
$hlist->itemCreate(1, 0, -text => "dummy\@foo.com");
$hlist->itemCreate(1, 1, -text => "Re: HList?");
$hlist->itemCreate(1, 2, -text => "1999-11-21");
$hlist->itemCreate(1, 3, -text => "2335");


MainLoop;

sub browseThis{
for my $column (0..3){
print $hlist->itemCget( $hlist->selectionGet, $column, 'text' ), "\n";
   }
}

# a dumper alternative

sub browseThis{
  my $listArrayRef = [];

  my @selectedindices = $hlist->info('selection');

  foreach my $r (@selectedindices) {
     push @{$listArrayRef}, getRowArrayRef($hlist, $r);
     print Dump(@{$listArrayRef}),"\n";
   }

  sub getRowArrayRef {
    my ($hlist, $r) = @_;
    my @row;
   foreach my $c  (0 .. $hlist->cget(-columns) -1) {
     push @row, $hlist->itemCget($r, $c, '-text');
   } 
   return \@row;
  }
