I tried to make latest well-known GUI-enabled debugger ptkdb(version 1.1074) to work with perl-5.8.0+Tk-800.024

However, I did not succeed (although many other modules that I tried succeeded to be built, self-tested and installed).

Test and installation of a module was okay, but when I tried to use it I got folowing: 

D:\Work\PerlScripts\utl>perl -d:ptkdb repath.pl
No DB::DB routine defined at d:/perl58m/lib/Devel/ptkdb.pm line 98.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at d:/perl58m/lib/Devel/ptkdb.pm lin
+e 98.
Compilation failed in require.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted.

Line 98 of that file is innocent: it just contains following: 
 use vars qw($VERSION @dbline %dbline);

Has anyone faced similar problem? Could you please share your experience?

That version of ptkdb worked okay with 5.6.1
