Thanks everyone for the insight.
I got the idea as to how and where to start.
Guess I need to work in Perl for now, so as to start the conversion process.
Regarding Tests, I had already started writing tests before posting.
Writing tests for every module will be a pain as well as a nice experience.

I want to interface to the native validation of tk. If you don't know what
that is, you're unlikely to be able to help me.

In tcl/tk an Entry widget can be set to validate its contents with the validate
option. You have to give it a validatecommand (vcmd), which is a tcl script
that runs when some action triggers validation. Usually, the script would use
"percent substitutions" so the script would be something lik
