...there is always hope for the future.

For the sake of the future of web browsing, I hope not. ;)

It's hard enough to stop popups now. Imagine giving unknown someone Tk-style control of your system.

    Well, if it's done right, you should have a setting in the browser to turn the plug-in off, like java and javascript can be turned off. I think the bigger concern is security, and it would have to be addressed by making a complete, but functionally limited perl and Tk , to be the standalone plug-in. Just connecting to the system's Perl, is far too big of a risk to run thru cgi.
