There is no need to wrap it from Perl; Tkx.pm is using Tcl.pm, which
is a generic bridge between Perl and Tcl. So you should already be
able to use xmlrpctcl directly from Tkx apps. That's what Jeff meant
when he wrote "If there was a way to do this in Tcl, you could do it
through Tkx" earlier in this thread.
