That sets a variable in Perl-land that doesn't get reflected to Tcl.
Interesting point though - perhaps this should be tied to the relevant Tcl
var?
In any case, you only want to adjust Tcl's $::auto_path, and you want to
*extend* it (it is a Tcl list), not replace the current contents. That would
be:
Tkx::lappend('::auto_path', '/Library/Tcl');

The above should suffice to find any locally installed packages not provided
already in the tkkit, which only looks inside itself by default for security
and safe encapsulation reasons.
