To be more sure, I need more details on failure (obviously:) but it is 
unobvious for me how Exporter could be a show-stopper for Tcl::Tk.

For example I never use "exporter"-ed functions from Tcl::Tk, because I always 
write e.g.

  $int->MainLoop; # no exported function, it is found by OO semantic

instead of just

  MainLoop;  # if I ever use this approach, I write Tcl::Tk::MainLoop

All in all, Tcl::Tk is pure-perl and all is relatively obvious within it.

"snit" however could be tough place, as it is needed for Scrolled widgets, (it 
was not required for some old versions of Tcl::Tk).
Do you have snit within your Tcl/Tk installation?

BR,
Vadim.
