Well, the perl fix does work, in a sensible way, under almost all
circumstances. It's an acceptable fix, so why delay it, or the upload?
We can still make a better one with your program.

Thank you. Wouldn't it be better to give it on argument, and let it
write 

"Please install the package\n\"perl-tk\" to use $1."

so that we can reuse it when there's an other program that depends on
perl-tk? Or even two arguments, the second being the package name?
