Tk (not Tkx) on ActivePerl?

I have some older scripts I use quite a bit that were written for Perl Tk. I hadn't upgraded my copy of ActivePerl for awhile. Now I found that the latest version dumped the Tk library in favor of Tkx. All the function calls are different rendering my old script useless. I'd rather not have to recode the script (260 lines in the part that uses Tk) so I'm wondering if I can just load the Tk module from the old version of ActivePerl into the lib directory for the new version and run the script. Anyone know if this might work? The new version is on a company machine that is locked down so I have to have the remote admin load the files so I can't simply test it out and see.
 
Have you tried the TK CPAN module?

At least a couple users on this forum reported having TK 804.027 working with ActiveState Perl 5.10. I assume 804.028 wouldn't be a problem either. By the way, PPM, which is probably already installed on your system, makes installing CPAN modules a lot easier than building them yourself.
