Ok, So I had the chance to review and here is what I have come up with. I took your example and mashed a chunk of my code that has my CSSH call, to see if I could manage the windows via example code. 

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use warnings;
use strict;
use Tk;

my ($x,$y,$count) = (0,0,0);
my @systems = qw(system1 system2 system3 system4 system5 system7);

foreach(@systems) {
  
 $count++;
 
 if (fork == 0) {
 
   #$widget->geometry("wxh+x+y")
   my $top = new MainWindow;
   $top->geometry('100x100'.'+'.$x.'+'.$y);

   $top => "cssh -G -T 'OOPCSSH' -l username $_";  ##MY PROBLEM LIES H
+ERE. If I simply `the command/call` it runs but still no placement co
+ntrol.

   $top->Button(-command => sub { warn "top$_" })->pack;
   MainLoop;
   CORE::exit();
  }

if( $count % 3 == 0) {$y += 150; $x = 0 }
$x += 150;

}
MainLoop;

Since I am calling cssh, what it is actually doing is opening up a seperate XTERM window for each connection in which I can control each window with one control window. Essentially calling a seperate program all together, your example actually cleared up a previous issue I had but not quite this one, as I still cannot control the placement of the "outside" program/call. I would like to be able to place the XTERM windows that CSSH opens or use a CSSH module to do the work inside the program. Checking CPAN I didn't see what I was looking for.
