Take a look at Tk::TableMatrix. It's included in the Activestate distribution, and has more documentation than Tk::TixGrid. Here's some example code with notes, extracted from one of my projects. This should give you a good start with the widget, but be sure to read the docs, there's a lot more to it. 

# set up the Tk::TableMatrix grid

    my $grid = $mw->Scrolled('TableMatrix',
        -scrollbars => 'osoe',
        -sparsearray => 0,
        -titlecols => 1, # first col does not scroll
        -titlerows => 1, # top row does not scroll
        -roworigin => -1, # first scrolling (data) row is 0
        -colorigin => -1, # first scrolling (data) col is 0
        -padx => 2,
        -colwidth => 20,
        -anchor => 'w',
        -background => 'white',
        -resizeborders => 'none',
        -justify => 'left',
        -browsecommand => \&clickLeft,
        )->pack(
            -side =>'right',
            -expand => 1,
            -fill => 'both',
            );


# collect the data

    # column labels
    my @colLabels = qw( column labels here ... etc );
    # from database
    my $data = $dbh->selectall_arrayref($sql);
    # number of columns
    my $cols = scalar @{$data->[0]};
    # number of rows
    my $rows = 20;


# populate the grid with data

    # hashref to hold Tk type list for grid values
    my $vals = {};

    # add column labels to first row
    for (0..$cols -1){
        $vals->{"-1,$_"} = $colLabels[$_];
    }
    # add data to subsequent rows
    for my $ro (0..$rows -1){
        # put row numbering into first column
        $vals->{"$ro,-1"} = $ro +1;

        # put data from Perl array ref into Tk list
        for my $co (0..$cols -1){       
            $vals->{"$ro,$co"} = $data->[$ro][$co];
        }
    }

    # configure binds Tk list to the grid
    $grid->configure(
        -rows => $rows +1,
        -cols => $cols +1,
        -variable => $vals,
    );
