in reply to Tk Problem

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?

    I'm not using a 64-bit OS and I'm running Windows 8, Citrus perl does not work so far with windows 8, any ideas

      And then what happened?

      You might post some diagnostically relevant information, something other than "doesn't work" whih is not an error message

        It says that citrus perl is the wrong version for my os, but i got the latest version.
