>Description:
	The current x11-toolkits/p5-Tk port is based on
	Tk-804.025_beta6. This is problematic, because

	* The 804.025 beta series is not yet stable enough
	* There are (still) incompatibilites which may break older
	  Perl/Tk scripts (and in fact it breaks the german/BBBike
	  port)
	* Using 804.025 forces the user to upgrade their perl.

>How-To-Repeat:
	
>Fix:

	The best solution would be to create two ports: one with the
	old Tk800.025 port source and a new one with the current
Tk804.025
	port source. The naming of both could be
        
	* "p5-Tk800" and "p5-Tk"
	* "p5-Tk" and "p5-Tk-devel"
	* "p5-Tk-800" and "p5-Tk-804"

	or so.

	In either case, the german/BBBike dependency should be changed
	to use the older port.
