you could write special application that could be "placed" inside
Toplevel (or Frame) via -use option, and it will use Win32::OLE.
Although it is theoretically possible, and documentation says that
application is responsible for processing X events, it is not documented
on how you should process X events, and I, personally, did not succeeded
doing this.

Probably you should use ActiveX object. It is not available in perlTk,
but it is available in its close relative Tcl::Tk module, see example
screen shot at the bottom of http://vkonovalov.ru/perl-tcltk.htm there
are Win32-native widgets used inside Tk application from within Perl.
