You're using ClearCase, and this is a Unix path, and further, it is a 
path only relevant after a 'cleartool setview' has been done. Neither 
the path nor setview makes sense in Windows as is.

This looks better; it is the same path, but looking at the vob through 
Windows where the vob tag is \vob_verif (as opposed to the Unix tag of 
'/vobs/vob_verif'). Also, it looks like your shop has redefined the 
standard M: as the MVFS drive to V: which is fine. At a guess the view 
'view_MAIN' is a view used by everyone. Obviously it must have the 
correct config spec to see the right versions, but if your admin says 
it's ok, then I guess it is. Finally, this view must be started on your 
workstation (cleartool startview).

As you gather, your attempts with 'use lib' won't work. If anything,
    use lib 'v:/view_MAIN/vob_verif/tools/Perl/lib';
should do the trick. Yes, it's ok to use forward slashes on Windows too.

However, this assumes that your sysadmin really knows what he's doing - 
first, it isn't enough to just copy 'Tk.pm' to that location, it's a 
whole lotta stuff *including binaries specific to a platform*.  As 
you're now seeing a missing 'Tk::Event' I'd guess the installation is 
only partial.

So, is there a Windows build of the Tk package that has been installed 
there (since you seem to be using both Unix and Windows)? And are you 
using a Perl that handles a lib tree with separation by platform for the 
binaries - AFAIK, ActivePerl doesn't, for example.

Overall, I sense a need to really get a handle on your CM process and 
ClearCase in general and make sure everyone agrees on how to make a Perl 
installation reusable and properly versioned. There is, as you discover 
quite a lot to think of :-).

Lastly, if you're just starting out with Tk, I understand that it's 
pretty much a dead end, so if you're gonna develop all new code, you 
might want to look to Tkx instead...
