Just keep track of the cards somehow (easiest way is to create an object, cause all you have is photo id's ;D)

You can re-position photos, so no need to redraw.

Check out (crazyinsomniac) Re: Tk Canvas Animation, (crazyinsomniac) Re: Win32 Tk JPEG from memory problem, crazy tk xbm tingy, and Tk Rubberband Demo. Hopefully you'll pick up a few tips (at least enough to write what you want, imho of course).

You might also wanna read the Tk::Canvas pod.

Here is a ready to run example

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use Tk;

sub jump_it {
   my ($c, $thing) = @_;
   my ($old_x, $old_y) = $c->coords($thing);
   my $new_pos = $old_x == 10 ? 80 : 10;
   $c->coords($thing, $new_pos, $new_pos);
}

=head1 ORIGINAL C<slide_it> function

sub slide_it {
   my ($c, $thing) = @_;
   for my $i (10..80) {
      $c->coords($thing, $i, $i);
      for (my $wait=20000; --$wait;){};
   }
}
