Hmm, unless I've misunderstood something, I'm not sure I agree - my main cpu worry is the amount of lines I'm throwing at the canvas. As far as the main computing goes, since I don't increase (yet:) the number of iterations at different scales, the number of calculations is fixed.
Also, my code worked fine when I didn't try to center the fractal on the location clicked on - i.e. it just zoomed in.
In theory, all I've got to do is adjust the start points for the calculation to see a different area, and it *almost* works with the current code, but something's going screwy. I think what I need to do is to remove the mandlebrot from the equation (sic), and just get some debugging output... sigh...
map{$a=1-$_/10;map{$d=$a;$e=$b=$_/20-2;map{($d,$e)=(2*$d*$e+$a,$e**2
-$d**2+$b);$c=$d**2+$e**2>4?$d=8:_}1..50;print$c}0..59;print$/}0..20

Well I played with your code, and what I think you need to do is reset the canvas size and scrollregion when you call the sub. The way your current code works, you make the fractal bigger, but never adjust the canvas size to accomodate it. This is as far as I got, before the cpu usage made me give it up. I added scrollregions, adjust $c_size with $scale, and set the $scale to 1.2 to troubleshoot easier. Anyways, click this a few times and watch what happens, compared to your original script.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use Tk;
my $c_size = 100;
my $scale = 1;
my $mw = MainWindow -> new;
my $canvas = $mw -> Scrolled('Canvas',
-height=>$c_size,
-width=>$c_size,
-scrollregion => [0,0,$c_size,$c_size]
)-> pack(-expand=>1 ,-fill=>'both');
$canvas -> Tk::bind('all', '<ButtonPress-1>' => \&MakeMan);
&MakeMan();
MainLoop;
sub MakeMan(){
my ($e, $canv_x, $canv_y)=(0,$c_size/2,$c_size/2);
if($scale > 1){
$e = $canvas -> XEvent;
$canv_x = $e->x;
$canv_y = $e->y;
}
my $icount = 1;
$c_size *= $scale;
#problem here...
my $i = -2/$scale + (($canv_y-($c_size/2)) / ($c_size/$scale));# + $
+lasti;
my $rgb;
while($icount <= $c_size){
#... and here...
my $r = -2/$scale + (($canv_x-($c_size/2)) / ($c_size/$scale));# +
+ $lastr;
my $rcount = 1;
while($rcount <= $c_size){
my $tr = $r;
my $ti = $i;
$rgb = '#000000';
for my $n(1..15){
($tr, $ti) = (($tr ** 2) - ($ti ** 2) + ($r), (2 * $tr * $ti)
++ ($i));
if((($tr * $tr) + ($ti * $ti)) > 4){
$rgb = '#ffffff';
last;
}
}
$canvas -> createLine($rcount, $icount, $rcount+1, $icount, -fil
+l => $rgb, -width => 1);
$rcount ++;
$r += (4/$scale)/$c_size;
}
$icount ++;
$i += (4/$scale)/$c_size;
}
$scale = $scale * 1.2;
$canvas->configure(-scrollregion=>[0,0,$c_size,$c_size]);
$canvas->update;
}
