There's always

Ousterhout, John, "Tcl and the Tk Toolkit", Addison-Wesley, 1994.

Specifically "Part III: Writing Tcl Applications in C", which
discusses integration of C code with Tcl/Tk.

To be totally up-to-date, you'd need to consult the most
recent Tcl/Tk documentation. Tcl's C API has changed a lot
in the past few years. The Tcl/Tk distribution contains
complete API docs.

Incidentally, the Python/Tk binding uses an embedded Tcl
interpreter to do the dirty work, so it's not using the
Tk C API directly. I'm not sure about Perl/Tk.
