Hello:

On building POE 0.1502 on my Debian Sid machine with a locally build Perl 5.6.1, I get 
what appear to be spurious complaints about missing items.

First, on executing perl Makefile.PL, I get:

Warning: prerequisite Exporter 0 not found at 
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm line 343

Then, upon executing make test, I get:

[snip..]
*** dependencies are installed or updated:
***     TestSetup wants Exporter
***     lib::TestSetup wants Exporter
***     samples/tk.perl wants Tk 800.021 or newer
***     t/06_tk.t wants Tk 800.021 or newer
***   Please consider installing the most recent: Exporter Tk

[..snip..]

***     POE::Kernel::Tk works better with Tk 800.021 or newer
***     TestSetup works better with Exporter
***     lib::TestSetup works better with Exporter
***     samples/tk.perl works better with Tk 800.021 or newer
***     t/06_tk.t works better with Tk 800.021 or newer
***   Please install the most recent: Exporter Tk


However, POE does in fact make test and install properly. My local perl is built in 
/usr/local. 

During the make test, the message:

skipped: need Tk 800.021 or newer installed but only have -1, set by base.pm

is also displayed. I have the latest Tk installed, and so of course is Exporter.

Below is my perl -V. I hope this is useful..
