It looks like Yaakov is right, this seems to have been fixed as of perl-5.1=
0.1; I was still getting problems because my own attempts to build perl-Tk =
had gone into /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl which apparently overrides vendor_pe=
rl (where the perl-Tk files go). Deleting my site_perl Tk files restores wi=
dget and our application to "working" status.

Thanks for everybody's help!
