Comment(by pst@…):

 Replying to [comment:13 blb@…]:
 > Ah, my perl5.8 port is installed with the +shared variant instead of the
 default like yours, so the paths to Tk.bundle (and other compiled bundles)
 will be different.

 > However, that led me to try something and I have found the problem,
 namely, that perlprimer appears to crash with a perl5.8 which isn't build
 with the +shared variant.  This is unfortunate since ports can't currently
 cause another to be built with a variant like that (ticket #126).  If you
 really want to get this working you'll need to uninstall all the p5-*
 ports, perlprimer, and perl5.8, then reinstall perl5.8 with +shared
 ({{{sudo port install perl5.8 +shared}}}), then finally install perlprimer
 again.

 That fixed it!! I uninstalled everything, installed perl5.8+shared, then
 perlprimer. MANY THANKS BLB for your help!!

 Now, will the perl5.8+shared variant screw-up future installs of ports
 that need perl???
