Thanks, I think that clears up most of the confusion - definitively seems 
like Tkx is the way to go, rather than Perl/Tk. Well, unless there are very 
good alternatives that 'I must not miss'...?

Are there no/some/lots of quirks when perlapping something using Tkx? I 
assume it's a nobrainer, since you're apparently doing it with your tools, 
but just looking for confirmation...

What would you consider the best resources to get started? I see there's a 
Tkx tutorial, and there are references to using the 'real' Tcl documentation 
to figure out how to call something from Perl - I have no Tcl background but 
I assume it shouldn't be very hard. Anything else you know of that would 
spare me a lot of work - literature, websites with good how-to's?

Thanks for your help - my next step is RTFM & hands-on, I guess...:-)
