Doesn't work at all here. I've got the March 1 snapshot, and when I
say "--with-tcl --with-perl", it reports (immediately) that those
options are turned on...

checking setting USE_TCL... enabled
checking setting USE_PERL... enabled

...but that's the last I hear of it. It seems that the USE_TCL and
USE_PERL variables are not set properly, because no attempt is made to
find the header files and libraries later on.

As for my observation that the previous releases, tcl7.6 and tk4.2,
also seem to work just fine:

I was thinking something along the lines of:
