The error message indicates problems with a PNG image. I found in the
past that PerlTk is extremely sensitive to versions. When I tried to
install it from CPAN, graphic support did not work at all. I see you
have installed it from the Fedora repo which should be OK. do you have
all graphics libraries from Fedora repos, or do you have also
libraries from elsewhere?

(I just guess according to my past experience.)
