Actually, this is not a bug in Perl, but as the backtrace clearly
shows, the Tcl module that is installed is what's causing the core
dump.

The problem is, I have Tcl installed properly. I've done some experimenting with this, and it looks like Tkx wont install on linux at all, unless through activestate 32bit (doesn't work on 64bit at all). I've had to go to my rarely used windows install on my laptop in order to use Tkx :(

That said, this is not a problem in the Perl core. This is a problem
in the perl extension called Tcl that allows Perl code to interface
with the Tcl libraries. My guess is that the big listed at
http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=21181 is the same
problem you are occurring. The bug should be put in the perl-tcl
queue, not the perl queue.
