problem installing tk804.pm

[dave morgan]

I am trying to install the perl module tk.pm on FreeBSD 6.1

I am using the same command I have used for a couple of years on my
Debian/testing Linux box -

This downloads and compiles ... then blows up at the testing stage
(rewrapped by my mailer) -

$ perl --version

This is perl, v5.8.8 built for i386-freebsd-64int
(with 1 registered patch, see perl -V for more detail)

$ perl -MCPAN -e shell
cpan> install  NI-S/Tk-804.027.tar.gz

*** Error code 255

Stop in /usr/home/david/.cpan/build/Tk-804.027.
  /usr/bin/make test -- NOT OK
Running make install
  make test had returned bad status, won't install without force
Failed during this command:
  NI-S/Tk-804.027.tar.gz                       : make_test NO

Any ideas what is wrong, and how I fix it?

best regards
Dave
