Just as a refresher, I am back to wrangling with Tkx breaking after a 
minor version upgrade of my Tcl installation (from 8.5.12 to 8.5.13). 
The behavior is similar to trying to load a Tcl package with the 
"-exact" flag: i.e. package require -exact 1.0.3.

Is there anywhere I can file a bug on this? I  have dug into the muck of 
my Perl installation looking for a hard-coded version string '8.5.12,' 
and I can't find this anywhere. The only place I can think it might be 
is in the compiled C module that links Perl to Tcl.

Rebuilding isn't really an option as my hope is to deploy a standalone 
app that can link to any 8.5.x of Tcl, which is installed by default on 
recent versions of the Mac OS.  That shouldn't be a tall order; Python's 
Tkinter module handles this gracefully.

Thanks,
Kevin
