Tkx is included in ActiveState ActivePerl now. The nice thing about it is that it works on Windows 64 bit platforms and you don't have to worry about compiling Perl/Tk which is tricky on a server with no web access (for me anyway). I'm no expert but it also seems nice because you can use the Tk documentation once you learn to translate the punctuation and you get everything in Tk instead of what has been ported to Perl/Tk.

For a unix flavor you should have Tcl already but for Strawberry Perl you need to install Tcl to use Tkx.

Update: Tkx is not the same as Perl/Tk. Tkx is a module that lets you interface to Tk/Tcl directly instead of using Perl/Tk.
