Any thoughts on the Tcl::Tk bridge?

I realize that this is Perl/Tk mailing list, and that it's probably been 
quiet due to the holidays, but there really hasn't been a whole lot said 
about the Tcl::Tk work currently underway -- even on their mailing list.

I've got mixed feelings about it, and I haven't really made up my mind 
about it, yet.

On one hand, it seems like a good thing to reduce the  turnaround time 
needed to take advantage of not only the latest Tk version, but also 
other Tcl/Tk packages, such as BWidgets, but on the other hand, I'm not 
wild about maintaining a Tcl/Tk distribution in addition to the Perl 
one, and ensuring it any other related packages are up to date and in sync.

A nice thing about the Perl/Tk widgets, is that most of the bindings and 
some additional behavior was done directly in Perl. These modules served 
as useful examples of how other modules might be coded. It's how I 
started learning. I don't relish the thought of these modules being 
written in Tcl. I initially started out learning Tcl years ago, not 
because I liked Tcl, but because I found it useful in quickly building 
user interfaces.  I preferred Perl, and didn't look back when I found 
that Tk had been ported to Perl. This isn't a knock on Tcl, it's just a 
preference.

Has anyone else done much with it, yet?
