I think Activestate has transitioned from Tk to Tkx
In either case many windows perl users are transitioning to Strawberry Perl which does not require a package build per perl version. (And therefore package authors have dropped support for non-Activestate ppm repositories) Admittedly my Tkx build in Strawberry 5.14 required a forced install over a few errors but it installs straight from CPAN.

Tk and Tkx are both built on Tcl but the interfaces are different. Tkx uses a mildly more perlish interface.
I've never translated Tk to Tkx but my first suggestion would be to go to the top of the script and change 'use Tk;' to 'use Tkx;' when you have Tkx installed and run the script to see what breaks. You can look up the section that is broken and convert to the new code here I think some of the old Tk style still works because not all Tcl elements are built as widgets and you still have to call them in the Tk way. I'm just not sure if having a widget in Tkx excludes the old Tk syntax.

probably a dumb question here, but is there a way to migrate my Tk script to Tkx? Are they pretty much the same? No, but it could be as simple as use Tcl::pTk; except, if you can't manage to install Tk.pm, you're not going to manage to install Tcl::pTk. see Re: TclTk interface with Perl code, is it possible?, Re^2: GUI toolkit+designer for the perl newbie
Don't bother migrating, just go ahead and install Tk.pm by any means possible, even if it means installing a 32bit version of perl, or a different perl build, or whatever else you have to do

Depends on what v of Perl you're running. Trouchelle has repo dirs up to 5.014 (as of this writing, 25 Jan 2013)
If yours is 5.14 or earlier, check out http://trouchelle.com/perl/ppmrepview.pl. He specifies the ppm command to add the 5.14 repo as ppm rep add trouchelle.com http://trouchelle.com/ppm14/ | [reply] [Watch: Dir/Any] [d/l] |

Odd name. Maybe if you put $100,000 in unmarked bills with no sequential serial numbers under yonder tree, and wait a day or so, the domain will magically come back. | [reply] [Watch: Dir/Any] |

Looks like it's back online now as of the last week or so at least. Thanks to whoever did that by the way. My C:\ melted (don't do speed tests from ntfs to ext4 and back again with large files?) and I really needed Win32::MediaPlayer for 5.14_x86 on win7 =)
