Hi Sandy,
I see you recently posted about this on PerlMonks:
https://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=1219968
As mentioned by https://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=1220185 : if you intend to
keep using the widgets from Perl, you might be able to use them with Tcl::pTk
with little to no change, if you haven't already tried that. It tries to allow
unmodified Perl/Tk programs and pure-perl custom widgets to work with Tcl/Tk.
Otherwise, as others have said it is possible to use Tcl/Tk syntax from Tcl::Tk
or Tkx.
I haven't found exactly what you might be looking for, but one source that
might help with using Tcl/Tk syntax is TkDocs, but the way they do this from
Perl is using Tkx, which many find a drastic change from Perl/Tk syntax.
Tcl::Tk allows both Tcl/Tk syntax and some Perl/Tk syntax where possible, but
is still a light wrapper like Tkx. Tcl::pTk tries to then cover any cases not
covered by Tcl::Tk to allow running existing Perl/Tk programs.
There's also this document with a few sections on the differences between
Tcl/Tk and Perl/Tk: http://phaseit.net/claird/comp.lang.perl.tk/ptkFAQ.html
Hope this helps.

Hi,
I am currently trying to port some of my old Perl/Tk programs to Tcl/Tk.
I have many pure-perl custom widgets. I am trying online to find a decent
tutorial(s) on how to create custom widgets using perl Tcl/Tk.
Can you recommend anything? Any examples?
Thank you for your time.
Sandy
