Hmm, I cannot find a "perltk" project on SF. Shouldn't such a project
live under http://sourceforge.net/projects/perltk ?

I started a (half-)private subversion repository on Perl/Tk some days
ago: https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/srezic/Tk
It contains the source code of Tk 804.027 with a couple of patches
found on rt or elsewhere in the net. I am willing to move the
repository to a more public place.
