No you're right to break things into different modules. As for whether or not to use OO I would suggest using whatever is comfortable.

And use whatever namespace you want. If you app is called foo.pl I'd create Foo::Widgets or something.

I agree Tk and most GUI widget sets are unwieldy to code with. One think you might think about is using Glade and Gtk2::GladeXML. This lets you "draw" your GUI, which is defined in an XML file, that that CPAN module reads and does all of the "building" for you. You then just write the callbacks and the portion you need to modify.

Hope this helps.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
