You have 8.4 and 8.5 installed side-by-side.  Over-the-top is actually 
supported (even though there is a warning by the installer - this will 
change).  When you install over-the-top, 8.5 will pick up all the extra 
modules that ship by default with 8.4.

It is part of the 8.4 distro, or available in the teapot.

Now this is where it gets somewhat confusing.  The teacup is for 
managing a central repository for use by many versions of Tcl, but it 
also recognizes the pre-installed libraries.  What teacup says above is 
that you indeed have dom::tcl, but it finds it in the 8.4 dist.  What 
you can do is force the install with --force, and you will then have 
another copy in your local teapot repo.  The other option is to install 
8.5 on top of 8.4 (or cp -r /opt/ActiveTcl-8.5/* /opt/ActiveTcl-8.4). 
Both 8.4 and 8.5 will work fine.
