You can use this code to center your widget 
#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use Tk;

my $mw = MainWindow->new;
$mw->title("Hi");

my $title = $mw->Entry( -text       => '',
                        -width      => 20,
                        -font       => 'Courier 12 bold',
                        -background => 'Orange',
)->pack( -ipadx => 35 );

$title->focus();

$mw->Button( -text       => 'Ok',
             -font       => 'Courier 12 bold',
             -background => 'Orange',
             -command    => sub{ Hello($title) },
  )->pack(   -side       => 'left',
             -ipadx      => 40
);

$mw->Button( -text       => 'Exit',
             -font       => 'Courier 12 bold',
             -background => 'Orange',
             -command    => sub { exit }
  )->pack(   -side       => 'right',
             -ipadx      => 40
);

# center your widget
center_widget($mw);

MainLoop;

sub Hello {
    my $title_val = $title->get;
    print "Hello - $title_val\n";
