Re: (bbfu) (Tk) Re: Windows Me + Win32::GUI blues...

Good idea! But doesn't it require extra libraries? That is my problem, I looking into developing software for my friends that don't have tk and don't really want to download it either. They also probably want a familiar Windows look and feel (although the crashes are a little too familiar:)). If tk requires no extra libraries then I would be more than happy to learn and use it.

If you don't want your friends to have to download libraries, You could use the ActiveState's PerlApp program to build standalone .exe files It is not free but there is no limit on the number of 30 day demo periods you can get.	[reply]

Not to my knowledge it doesn't. I use the ActiveState distribution of Perl, and I didn't have to do anything but use the ppm to install the module from the ActiveState repository. Since you use the IndigoStar distro, you could still download the distro as a .zip file from ActiveState, unzip it to a temporary directory, and then use the dpm program that comes with IndigoStar to install it.

The Tk module for perl is provided by Activestate, so no problems. But, you need Tk on your machine. You have to download it from www.scriptics.com	[reply]

If you get the ActivePerl Tk module, it is complete. You don't have to download parts from other places. It's all in the ppd distribution. —John	[reply]
