Very interesting idea indeed.
But AFAIK gdb does not supports Perl debugging, nor Tcl/Tk debugging.

Speaking of ptkdb and tcl2perl, I want to mention that there exist 
'reverse' module WRT tcl2perl, Tcl::Tk on CPAN.
Actually it allows even running  Tcl/Tk programs of any complexity from 
Perl (for example I succesfully tried VTCL and code generated by it, 
speaking of IDEs)
Also Tcl::Tk perl module it contains 'tcltkdb' in demo directory which 
is adoptation of 'ptkdb' to Tcl::Tk. It is not finished though.

One of available open-source debuggers for Tcl/Tk is RamDebugger, see
http://mini.net/tcl/3912
I think it can also be adopted for misc purposes.

Please keep us informed on news on your way...

Best regards,
Vadim
