    Back in December, 2004, Perl-Tk wouldn't run for me on an AMD64 system.

    After Googling and searching, I found a fix. With the most recent rpm's for
    Perl, Perl-Tk quit working for me again. This time it looks like
    there was a change
    to a filename from 'site-perl' to 'site_perl'.

    Anyway, here's what I did to fix it, this time:

    In .bashrc, I added the line

      export PERL5LIB=/usr/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0

    and Perl-Tk started working again. The only difference
    from the December failure was using the underscore(_)
    in place of the dash(-). I did one other thing this time, too,
    and that was to get rid of the i386 version of Perl on my AMD64
    machine using this command:

      yum remove perl.i386

    Although I don't use Perl heavily now on AMD64 machines,
    I will be building several MythTV AMD64 boxes this year and
    they will need perl.x86_64 installed and working.

    Don't know if this will help you with your particular situation,
    but your description seemed like it might. Good luck.
