I've packaged Tkx apps using PAR. Tcl::Tk apps should work the same way. You need to explicitly bundle Tcl.dll and tkkit.dll when invoking pp. For example:

    -l C:/Perl/lib/auto/Tcl/Tcl.dll
    -l C:/Perl/lib/auto/Tcl/tkkit.dll

Unfortunately, it's not quite that simple due to the way PAR unpacks shared libraries. You need to modify your script to detect when it's running under PAR and tell the Tcl module where to find the libs:

    use File::Spec::Functions;
    
    BEGIN {
        if (exists $ENV{PAR_PROGNAME}) {
            use Config ();
            $ENV{PERL_TCL_DL_PATH} = catfile(
                $ENV{PAR_TEMP},
                'tkkit.' . $Config::Config{dlext}
            );
        }
    }
