Hi Igor,

I have not tried the old perl/Tk with perl 5.8.5.  But I have been
pretty happy lately with Tk 804.  Earlier releases of 804 had a very
serious bug in the hierarchical list widget, which is used all over
the place in Artemis.  That seems to have been fixed in more recent
releases.  That is, I have gotten 804 to work with my codes without
problem.

My advice would be to try installing the perl and perl/Tk that come
with Fedora 3, then install ifeffit and my stuff and see if it all
works.  I think there is a decent chance that it will.

My next piece of advice would be to try building the latest perl/Tk
from CPAN.

After that, let me know what the error is.  Maybe it'll make sense to
me.

Good luck,
B
