My current Perl and Tk is Perl 5.8.2 and Tk 804.027. I just fetched
and compiled Perl 5.8.6 and built Tk 804.027 against that Perl w/o

seem to have an other-Perl mounted on your desktop ...

Above not at all normal. This is more normal, on Mac OS X 10.3.7
Panther:

566 tar -zxpf perl-5.8.6.tar.gz
567 cd perl-5.8.6
569 sh Configure -des -Dprefix=/tmp
570 make test
571 make install
572 PATH=/tmp/bin:$PATH
573 which perl
574 perl -v
575 cd ../Tk-804.027
576 make distclean
577 perl -v
578 perl Makefile.PL ;make
579 make test

Please try to build Perl and Tk as above and report results and OS
version, etc. Thanks,

Steve
