Here, try this script. It should get you started. 
#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use Tk;

my $MainWindow = MainWindow->new;
$MainWindow->title("Data Entry Form");

my $NameOfPerson; # global variable

$MainWindow -> Label(-justify => 'left',
                     -text => "Name of person : ")
        ->pack(-side => 'left',-anchor => 'n');

my $entry = $MainWindow -> Entry(-selectborderwidth => 10)
            ->pack(-side => 'top',-anchor => 'n');

$entry->bind('<Return>',[\&somesub]);
$entry->focus;


$MainWindow -> Button(-text => "OK",
                     -command => \&somesub)
         ->pack(-side => 'bottom',-anchor => 'center');

MainLoop;

#your script can continue here after Tk is done
while(1){print time."\t$NameOfPerson\n"; sleep 1;}

sub somesub {
    $,="\n";
    $NameOfPerson = $entry -> get;
    print "\nNameOfPerson ->$NameOfPerson\n";
    $MainWindow -> destroy;
    }
