It could be a bug, but Perl/Tk has had a bad habit for failing the tests done after installation, even though the installations work Ok.

Have you tried to run the example scripts, or the program called widget. If "widget" runs, and you try the various demos in it, and they perform, then you are Ok.

I urge you to download the latest Tk tarball from CPAN, and manually build it..... you will see quite a few errors go by in the self-test, but the Tk install works as advertised.
