No problems here (openSUSE 10.3, Linux 2.6.18.8-0.7 x86_64, perl-5.8.8-64all-dor) either, but I admit I use a more recent pTk:

/tmp 104 > perl test.pl
The version of Tk is '804.027501'
The version of Tk::Font is '4.004'
$VAR1 = "-family";
$VAR2 = "Nimbus Roman No9 L";
$VAR3 = "-size";
$VAR4 = -15;
$VAR5 = "-weight";
$VAR6 = "bold";
$VAR7 = "-slant";
$VAR8 = "roman";
$VAR9 = "-underline";
$VAR10 = 0;
$VAR11 = "-overstrike";
$VAR12 = 0;
$VAR13 = [
