If you are willing to use Gtk2, you can easily make a dialog work the way you want. This will let you tab around to the buttons, and enter will then select the right button. 
#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use Glib qw(TRUE FALSE);
use Gtk2 '-init';


my $dialog = Gtk2::Dialog->new ('Confirmation Dialog', undef, 'modal',
    'gtk-ok'   => 'ok',      # response ids may be one of the built-in
+ enums...
    '_Cancel'  => 2,        # or any positive integer.
        'gtk-undo' => 'reject',
        'gtk-save' => 'accept',
        'gtk-cancel' => 'cancel',
        'Do it'      => 'ok',
);

# put an hbox with a label and entry into the dialog's vbox area.
my $hbox = Gtk2::HBox->new (FALSE, 6);
$hbox->pack_start (Gtk2::Label->new ('Continue Real Transfer? '), TRUE
+, TRUE, 0);
$hbox->show_all;

$dialog->vbox->pack_start ($hbox, TRUE, TRUE, 0);

# Set which response is the default:
$dialog->set_default_response ('ok');

# connect a signal to the dialog's response signal.
$dialog->signal_connect (response => sub {
        print "@_\n";
        # get our params
        shift; # we don't need the dialog
        my $response = shift;    # the clicked button

                print "The user clicked: $response\n";
        
        if ($response eq 'ok'){
            Gtk2->main_quit;
            }
            
            if ($response eq 'cancel'){
            return
            }
       
            #more if's and elsif's......
            
        });

# show the dialog
$dialog->show;

Gtk2->main;
