Usually you do not go to such a low level of programming when using Tcl::Tk.

Normally, you use perlTk syntax, while using *all* features of all requested package (Tix, or any other)

On the other side, looks like tie-ing hashes does not currently fully implemented. Probably because it is rarely needed to do such kind of mapping.

I assume this lacking method you found will be fixed within next version of Tcl module, meanwhile you can enter to Tcl::Var package (within Tcl.pm): 

sub CLEAR {
    my $obj = shift;
    die "STORE Usage: objdata @{$obj} $#{$obj}, not 2 or 3 (@_)"
    unless @{$obj} == 2 || @{$obj} == 3;
    my ($interp, $varname, $flags) = @$obj;
    $interp->Eval("array set $varname {}");
}

But you'll probably need more hash methods afterwards (FIRSTKEY for example).

PS. Also all we keep in mind, that Tcl's array is not an array in Perl's terminology, its a hash.
