Hi Juan.
I asked nearly the same question some time ago.
The AquaTk which is delivered by default with MacOSX Tiger can only
be used if you use Tk with an Tcl-Perl Bridge like Tkx.
The Perl/Tk module is only useable with X11.
Check out the module Tkx on cpan.
I quote the answer that I got from Jan Dobois:
TclTk Aqua is shipped with Mac OSX Tiger.
Is it somehow possible to use it with Perl?
You should be able to do this with the Tcl::Tk module:
http://search.cpan.org/~vkon/Tcl-Tk/
The Tkx module provides a nice interface on top of Tcl::Tk:
http://search.cpan.org/~gaas/Tkx/
I have not tried this on OS X though, so it is possible that
the modules don't work out of the box there.
The Perl/Tk bindings are only for X11, right?
Yes.
Best regards,
Manfred

I loved Jim Ingham & Ian Reid Wish (Tk Tcl shell interface) 'a la
aqua'. They did a very good job. You can use all the Tk under an
aqua environment. No XWindows needed.
The question is: Is there any of this kind kind of porting for
Perl/Tk?
Thanks a lot for this really useful list!!
