It may be technically possible, but why would you want to do things that
way? The result is likely to be just like PerlTk--a brittle, complex
binding that's impossible to update without a huge amount of pain.
That's why PerlTk itself seems to be stuck at a Tk 8.4 level of
compatibility, has never been ported to run natively on the Mac, and so
on. The design approach of Tkx, which leverages rather than shuns the
Tcl interpeter, is much better from a maintenance standpoint--advances
in Tk are trivial to incorporate into Perl.

Just my two cents,
Kevin
