You should be able to do this with the Tcl::Tk module:

The Tkx module provides a nice interface on top of Tcl::Tk:
http://search.cpan.org/~gaas/Tkx/
I have not tried this on OS X though, so it is possible that the
modules don't work out of the box there.
I haven't checked lately, but it used to be that Perl/Tk wouldn't
compile on OS X unless you configured your perl a certain way. This
may have changed since I last looked, but be sure to look over the
docs if you hit any problems, as that might be it.
Tcl::Tk and Tkx don't use the Perl/Tk module; they call the Tcl/Tk
code
directly. That way you get access to the latest widgets supported by
Tcl/Tk. Of course you need a working Tcl installation in addition to
just Perl. We use this at ActiveState to create natively themed cross
platform Perl applications for Windows, Linux, Solaris and HP-UX.
I have heard from other people at ActiveState that they got this
to work
on OS X too, but I don't remember if they had to do anything special.
I tried Tkx which needs the Tcl module and this module needs to
init tcl and I get an error that the file init.tcl is missing on my
standard Tiger installation.
I know, this a bit offtopic but does anyone know how I can expand
the TCL include path?
The file init.tcl is here:
/System/Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework/Versions/8.4/Resources/
Scripts/init.tcl
Well, I could symlink the file to where tclinit looks for...
-----------------------
Failed to initialize Tcl with Tcl_Init:
Can't find a usable init.tcl in the following directories:
@TCL_IN_FRAMEWORK@ /usr/lib/tcl8.4 /lib/tcl8.4 /usr/library /
library /tcl8.4.7/library @TCL_IN_FRAMEWORK@
This probably means that Tcl wasn't installed properly.

Unable to initialize Tcl at /System/Library/Perl/5.8.6/darwin-
thread-multi-2level/DynaLoader.pm line 253.
Compilation failed in require at /Library/Perl/5.8.6/Tkx.pm line 206.
-----------------------
I finally got Tkx working.
The Perl Tcl error can be fixed by setting the env var:
TCL_LIBRARY=/System/Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework/Versions/Current/
Resources/Scripts
Best regards,
