Yes, Tk is still available! It came bundled with ActiveState Perl 5.8.8, but now you need to get it separately from ActiveState, go here to find out how to get without using ppm: how to get Tk on AS Perl 5.10 I don't think anything is going to happen for Tk in terms of new features, but I still use it as it has all I need for now.

update: looked a bit closer at this thread from AS - don't try to build it like one person in thread is trying, get the right .ppd file using another machine that can FTP. Transfer file with "sneaker net" or whatever to your internal machine. At command prompt type ppm -help, you will see that ppm install can take .ppd file as a parameter.
