IMO this is because activestate ppm for Tkx also installs some packaged version
of tcl/tk into perl tree so to guarantee that the module works
for my $inc (@INC) {
my $tkkit = "$inc/auto/Tcl/tkkit.$Config::Config{so}";
if (-f $tkkit) {
$DL_PATH = $tkkit;
last;
}
}

If it is on path - and you remove (or hide) tkkit.(dll/so) - then existing
tcl/tk should be use
