I've looked into CVS (which is hosted at
http://tcltkce.cvs.sourceforge.net/tcltkce/TclTk/ BTW) and realized that it was
me who added this offending ("import")
It is not needed, and I guess it was accidental.

5.8.2 is not old enough. Perl version 5.6.1 was not checked for a long time,
but it is actually supported - you can have Tcl/Tk 8.5 on perl 5.6.1
