I would just usurp the name as Perl::Tk, fork Tcl::Tk into that and run 
from there. Keeps the mindset of Perl/Tk except it moves into its own 
namespace of Perl::Tk and then you keep up the look/feel updates. Then 
subpackages become Perl::Tk::ComboBox or whatever. Nice and clean.

But what do I know...
