No, Perl/Tk does not work with MacPerl.  So far as I know, no one is
working on a port.  The one way you can use Perl/Tk on a Mac is to change
operating systems.  It runs under LinuxPPC/MkLinux, and I suspect it will
work under *BSD.  It may also work under MacOS X Server, since that's BSD
based.  It will conceivably work with something like Virtual PC and one of
the Windows ports of Perl.

You can, however, use the Mac Tk port (not Perl/Tk) under MacPerl with the
aid of an intermediary program.  I've forgotten the details.  That was
discussed here a while ago, and you can find the details in the list
archives.
