In my understanding those 20% are:
 - events %-something and Tk::Ev done differently so source-level 
compatibility lacks here: you must add few keystrokes  everywhere when 
"%" variables vere used.
 - pure-perl perlTk widgets are not supported.
 - Most widget methods are implemented, but not all of them. Addition of 
widget's method to Tcl::Tk is trivial but some of methods were just not 
caught at the moment. On the contrary, with Tcl::Tk you can work with 
perlTk syntax with widgets that are in Tcl/Tk but not in perlTk.  (see 
http://www.vkonovalov.ru/perl-tcltk.htm as example, namely 
$bltgraph->elementCreate(qw/line1 -symbol triangle/,...) ) That said,  
with Tcl::Tk you get more methods compared to perlTk but not full perlTk 
coverage.

Best regards,
Vadim.
