ATrpms has Tk 800.024 and Tk::TableMatrix 1.01 built for perl 5.6.1 to
5.8.1. In order to get around the bug you mention I use:

find . -name Makefile | xargs perl -pi -e's/pod2man --center (.*) "--"/pod2man 
-- --center $1/'

after perl Makefile.PL and before make. The author was suggesting this
workaround on some list, but I cannot find the quote on the net
anymore :(
