Can anyone tell me why Tk804 does not compile on a Windows XP machine using Activestate Perl 5.16 Cause you don't have a compiler? Cause you don't have the correct ppm repository in your config? Cause you didn't super search the right thing? ActivePerl w/Tk Unable to install Tk module on Win7 Unable to install Tk module Install Tk-804.030 with Perl 5.12.3 on Windows 7 Installation of Tk in windows Problems with CPAN: installing Tk Tk: Cannot install from CPAN sometimes.

The answer is no, not without a detailed description of how did you tried and what is the error you encountered.	[reply]

If you can choose, I recommend Citrus Perl, it has Tk (and WxPerl) and it's easy to create and distribute a custom Perl that includes your application modules. Later, with Cava Packager you can create a package for your application.	[reply]
