DISCLAIMER: I have never used Prima. I could be talking out of my butt here.
But, having said that, from what I saw of the screenshots and documentation, Prima does not offer anything that Tk does not, but Tk offers something critical that Prima may not- a thoroughly tested toolkit with a strong userbase.
The fact that the general response was "huh?" when asked about Prima is indicative of the lack of perl community support for Prima. Tk on the otherhand has an active newsgroup, active development, and a host of Helpful Perl Monks Expertstm on hand to answer questions.
Plus, in my opinion, it is the best toolkit out there. The canvas widget alone is worth the price of admission. It has a powerful event model, good image support, and decent control over look and feel.
It has places where it needs improvement, but also people willing to make those improvements.
