Ah. Well I guess it's not surprising. Most projects do not produce
variants in multiple languages, so we're the odd-man-out.

It doesn't make a huge difference for LTK-Perl. Perl programmers won't
find LTK-Perl but not because of this, they won't find it because we
don't have a CPAN distribution. Perl programmers go looking for
packages on CPAN.org, not here.

Maybe when things settle down on my current project I'll complete my
packaging efforts to host LTK-Perl on CPAN (in addition to the LTK
project). I'm most of the way there: already have MakeMaker metadata
and internal documentation, I just. need to add some Perl style
automated tests.
