perl-tk package doesn't work with perl5.005

[Peter Canning <canning@nospam.vitria.com>]

When I try to use Tk, I get the following error message:

Can't locate loadable object for module Tk in @INC (@INC contains:
/usr/lib/perl5/5.005/powerpc-linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.005
/usr/local/lib/site_perl/powerpc-linux /usr/local/lib/site_perl
/usr/lib/perl5 .) at - line 1
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at - line 1.

It appears that the unstable powerpc perl-tk package is still built for
perl5.004.  It installed lots of stuff (including Tk.so) in
/usr/lib/perl5/powerpc-linux/5.004/auto/Tk.

Unfortunately, this problem breaks fvwmconf.

I'm not sure if this is just a matter of getting the package rebuilt for
powerpc, if it needs to be rebuilt for all the debian platforms, or if
I've screw something up myself.

I'd be greatful for any info on how to get it fixed.

	thanks,
