[perl -V]

I'm inclined to say something's wrong with your perl installation.
MakeMaker should find Exporter, for example.  The Tk version check is
basically:

  use Tk;
  skip if $Tk::VERSION < 800.021;

What does this report?

perl -wle 'use Exporter; use Tk; \
print $Exporter::VERSION; print $Tk::VERSION'
