For a breadth first search , since I have to visit the left node first and then the right node and then repeat this process till I reach the very end , I fee its sort of tricky...

Not really, it just doesn’t lend itself to a recursive solution as depth-first traversal does. For the general algorithm, see the Wikipedia entry Tree_traversal#Breadth-first_2. Translated into Perl code matching the code you’ve shown for sub depthFirst, above, it will look like this (untested):

sub breadthFirst
{
    my ($tree) =  @_;
    return unless defined $tree;
    my  @queue = ($tree);
    print $tree->{Value};

    while (@queue)
    {
        my $node = shift @queue;
        print $node->{Value};
        push @queue, $node->{Left}  if defined $node->{Left};
        push @queue, $node->{Right} if defined $node->{Right};
    }
}
