Let's see if I get this... The windows box runs ssh (in command prompt window? via some windows app like SecureCRT?) to connect to a linux box and run a perl/tk app in linux, and you want the perl/tk window to show up on the windows screen. Is that it?

There are X servers available for windows, which would allow this to work, but I don't know of any free ones off-hand (a google search is bound to turn up at least a couple). There is also a free (open-source?) package called "VNC", which would involve running a special "server" process on the linux box, and connecting to that server from the windows box -- it puts up a "client" window on your local machine and inside that window it's as if you're on an X display connected to the remote host -- you use something like a .xinitrc to launch whatever you want within that window on connection (xterm, etc). Pretty cool, but there is a lot of overhead that might make it go slower than you want. (Sorry not to do the google look-ups for you, but these are OT issues, after all...)
