I followed what you had and tried some tricks of my own but failed.

Where is the makefile you reference in "Then I ran the 'perl Makefile.PL', 'dmake' mantra." ?

I'm not new to Perl. I did a lot of Perl programming years ago and thought I'd return to it. However, I am quite new to the make/install package aspect.

I will keep at this. GTk3 has been installed by many Windows users I'm sure. I just don't understand why it is so difficult.

Let me know if you find a successful recipe for the install

Thanks,

Don
