I've seen the same problem on RedHat systems. Setting LANG to C or
en_US also works. It also seems important to start from a
completely fresh perl-Tk directory: The simplest thing to do is
remove the Tk800.* source directory completely and start over:
export LANG=C # in bash. Use 'setenv LANG C' for tcsh
rm -rf Tk800.025
tar xvzf Tk-800.025.tar.gz
cd Tk800.025
perl Makefile.PL
make
make install
After setting LANG, this should also work:
perl -MCPAN -e shell
cpan>install Tk
Adding 'export LANG=C' or the equivalent in a startup file also
seems to help other applications, including Adobe's acroread.
