At some moment I managed things to work with 5.005_03, and, to be honest,
not very glad for 'Tcl' perl module to require 5.8.0.

5.6.1 compatibility could be approached however, but we must decide whether
elder than 5.6.0 are supported.


Could you please point out what is broken?

"Changes" file of Tcl distribution claims compatibility with 5.005 in 0.7
