what most event loops it do support?
Gtk? Tcl? Qt?

Actually, when looking into ./lib/Term/ReadLine.pm and seeking
for "tk" I found inside 
  package Term::ReadLine::Tk;

IMO this should not be there - you support your favourite GUI but 
not mine.

This Term::ReadLine::Tk should be on CPAN and not in the CORE.
This small group of users of Term::ReadLine::Tk will find it on CPAN.

Vadim.
