If I recall correctly, all graphics libraries come from Fedora repos
(almost sure the 'updates' repo). Now that you mentioned, when I
installed TL2013 in my development machine (F20) not a long time ago,
everything worked like a charm; maybe it's indeed some error from Tk.
I'll try to come up with a virtual machine and downgrade perl-Tk to see
what happens. :)
Thanks for the insight, Zdenek. ;)
All the best,
Paulo
