Is there a way to make the background color of the circle stay white?

Sure, create your own radiobutton widget, one made of two radio buttons, one with activecolor specified, one without -- check cpan, somebody might have already done it

Or is this some kind of compatibility issue with Tk running on Windows (I'm running Tk 804.29 with ActivePerl 5.12.1 on Win XP)?

I doubt it, but I can't confirm (I only have win32)

A WxPerl radiobutton does not seem to give me this problem.

Not exactly relevant :) wxRadioButton doesn't have an activecolor option either, and not being able to set color for the check/radio is considered a bug #10137 ([MSW-XP] wxRadioButton::SetForegroundColour doesn’t work) – wxWidgets

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.

Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
