Tk 804.029 is currently not building out of the box for us on Windows 
(it is working on Linux).  You can see our failing build log at (scroll 
to the end for error):

http://ppm4.activestate.com/MSWin32-x86/5.12/1200/S/SR/SREZIC/Tk-804.029.d/log-20100527T210152.txt

and it appears other testers are having issues:

http://matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=Tk+804.029

The log indicates it is in tkGlue.c, a mismatch to core regexp 
structures.  Probably something that changed for 5.12.  We'll look at 
this again to see if it just needs some simple prodding.

Note that you will find Tkx with ActivePerl 5.12.  It uses the Tcl-only 
binding to provide Tk functionality, though with a slightly different 
syntax.  There was an effort underway to provide a Perl/Tk compatible 
syntax layer, though I'm not sure of the status of that.
