Tk's binding the -variable seems to reset it. Workaround is easy: Set the initial value after instantiation of your ProgressBar.

use strict;
use warnings;

use Tk;
use Tk::ProgressBar;

my $nb_sec;

my $mw = MainWindow->new(-title => 'Progress Bar Example');
$mw->resizable(0,0);

my $pb = $mw->ProgressBar(-from => 0,
                          -to   => 90,
                          -blocks => 90,
                          -anchor => 'w',
                          -length => 200,
                          -width => 30,
                          -colors => [0,'blue'],
                          -variable => \$nb_sec)->pack();
$mw->Label(-textvariable => \$nb_sec)->pack;
$nb_sec = 30;
$pb->repeat(
    1000 => sub
    {
        $nb_sec += 1;
        $mw->destroy if $nb_sec >= 90;
    });
    
MainLoop();
