It is possible;  Tkinter utilizes an embedded Tk interpreter.  You
would have to write a Perl interpreter.  There may be some people
around who might help you with that.  I'm in the middle of embedding
another interpreter myself.

I've found that it is more efficient (and more fun) to convert the
libraries to Python.  The code is invariably clearer.
