Yes. In fact, there are some interesting perl/Tk applications already 
available from:

The following programs may be found in your own <kbd>Tk-b&#35;/</kbd>
directory:
<pre>
<b>

pfm            perl file manager - cute iconic front to <i>emacs</i>

tkpsh          perl/Tk equivalent of <i>wish</i>.
toyedit        a Text widget editor.
</pre>
The following programs may be found either in your <kbd>demos</kbd>
directory (consult the <KBD>README</KBD> file there for fuller descriptions) or
in your perl/bin install directory:
