If you are only writing an application using the Perl Tk module, you
have three choices:

1. Distribute your application separately from the Perl Tk module and
require users to install the Perl Tk module (typical);
2. Distribute your application together with unmodified source of Perl
Tk module;
3. Distribute your application with binaries of Perl Tk module, and
put a copy of the Perl Tk license statement in your licenses file.

If you're modifying the source of the Perl Tk module, you should
include the source with the original license statement(s) and you can
also add a license statement for your modifications in the files you
modified. This is all pretty typical for use of an open source
library/module in an application.
