The only 64-bit repository I know of is the active state one (Note: the x64 in the url):

ppm> repo describe 1 Id: 1 Name: ActiveState Package Repository URL: http://ppm4.activestate.com/MSWin32-x64/5.10/1004/package.xml Enabled: yes Last-Status: 200 OK Last-Access: 1 week and 2 days ago Refresh-In: overdue Last-Modified: 1 week and 3 days ago

It currently lists a fairly small selection of CPAN which does not yet appear to include the Tk base package:

ppm> search tk Downloading ActiveState Package Repository packlist...done Updating ActiveState Package Repository database...done 1: Apache-AuthTkt 2.1 2: Catalyst-Authentication-AuthTkt 0.10 3: Catalyst-Plugin-Authentication-AuthTkt 0.02 4: PDF-Tk 0.02 5: Tie-Hash-StructKeyed 0.04 6: Tie-ListKeyedHash 1.02 7: Tk-Browser 0.82b 8: Tk-DirSelect 1.03 9: Tk-FileDialog 1.3 10: Tk-Getopt 0.50 11: Tk-Image-Calculation 0.04 12: Tk-LineGraphDataset 0.01 13: Tk-ObjectHandler 0.03 14: Tk-SelFile 0.02 15: Tk-SignalSlot 0.1 16: Tk-WaitBox 1.3 17: Tk-Workspace 1.75 18: VBTK 0.20 19: clickTk 4.013 20: oEdtk 0.41776w 21: ptkFAQ 0_03 22: ptkftp 1.00 23: vptk_w_2 38b

I suspect that it, in common with quite a few other modules with XS components and/or C library dependancies, will require considerable work by knowledgable people to make it 64-bit compatible.

You should note that it is perfectly fine to install and use the 32-bit AS distributions under XP-64.
