My copy of Tk is freshly downloaded from ActiveState's PPM. The .pm file is dated 29-June-2000 (almost exactly one year old) and says it's $Tk::VERSION= '800.022'.
I'm familiar with Perl's issues with UTF8, and reported many bugs myself. In my example program, the \x{xxxx} construct is used, which does work (puts the corresponding UTF8 into the string's representation) and forces the object into character-orientation (though I didn't check for sure in this test program; I know that from other utf8 experience and bugs in functions that don't respect it properly).
So what is that “latest” version, and is it working on Win32 platform?

Facing the same issue as of 10/2002 I came upon your post. Then on comp.lang.perl.tk found the following post from Tk's author (hope such cross-posting is okay.)

Just to let you know Tk804.??? has just displayed its 1st widget
on NT4/SP6 with perl5.8.0.
There are still a pile of issues to work through but I hope I have
broken the back of the Unicode port to Windows.
A question for Sarathy (or anyone else that knows) - Win32's wide char
is 16-bits - it is obviously "little endian" but is it UCS-2 or UTF-16
i.e. does it have surrogates or is Win32 limited to U+FFFF ?
