Hey again, I thought about this and tried to force the focus order to the entries, and had some partial success which MAY help you. The method I used somehow interferes with the -validate command, also if the next entry is not within view of the scrolled region, the focus advance stops. Anyways, here it is, maybe you can get some mileage out of it. Good luck.

#!/usr/bin/perl 
use Tk; 
use Tk::Entry; 
use Tk::Table; 
use Tk::LabFrame; 
use warnings; 
use strict; 

my $v="0.00"; 
my $mw = MainWindow->new; 
$mw->geometry("250x400"); 
#$mw->resizable(0,0); 
$mw->title("Table Example");
 
my @id=qw/100 101 102 103 104 105 106 107 108 109 110/; 
my @name=qw/AAA BBB CCC DDD EEE FFF GGG HHH III JJJ KKK/; 
my @top2=qw/No Name Amount/; 

my $table_frame = $mw->LabFrame()->pack(-expand=>1, -fill=>'both'); 

my $table = $table_frame->Table(-columns => 10, -rows => 6, 
                  -fixedrows => 1, -scrollbars => 'oe', 
                  -relief => 'raised',-background=>'white'); 

my $j=0; my $i=0; 

my @ents;

foreach my $j(1..11) { 

my $tmp_label=$table->Label(-text => $id[$i], 
           -width => 8, -relief =>'raised'); 

my $tmp_label1 = $table->Label(-text => $name[$i], 
           -width => 8, -relief =>'raised'); 

my $tmp_label2= $table->Entry( -width => 8, -relief =>'raised',
       -bg => 'white',
       -validate=>'key',
       #-validatecommand=>sub{ $_[1] =~m/\d\d/} ,
       #-invalidcommand=>sub{$mw->bell} 
       ); 

#$tmp_label2->bind('Tk::Entry','<Return>',sub{ shift->focusNext }); 

$table->put($j,1,$tmp_label); 
$table->put($j,2,$tmp_label1); 
$table->put($j,3,$tmp_label2); 

push @ents, $tmp_label2;

$i++; 
} 

$table->pack( -expand=>1 , -fill=>'both'); 


my $button_frame = $mw->Frame( -borderwidth => 4 )->pack(); 
$button_frame->Button(-text => "Exit", -command => sub {exit})->pack()
+; 

&defineOrder( @ents );

MainLoop; 

sub defineOrder
{
    my $widget;
    for (my $i=0; defined( $_[$i+1] ); $i++)
    {
      $_[$i]->bind( '<Key-Return>', [\&focus, $_[$i+1]]);
      $_[$i]->bind( '<Tab>', [\&focus, $_[$i+1]]);
    }

    # Uncomment this line if you want to wrap around
    $_[ $#_ ]->bind('<Key-Return>',  [\&focus, $_[0]]);
    $_[ $#_ ]->bind('<Tab>',  [\&focus, $_[0]]);

    $_[0]->focus;
}



sub focus
{
    my ($tk, $self) = @_;
    $self->focus;
}
