PilotinControl has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello Monks! I've been slowing migrating to windows 10 pro all over my perl scripts and it has not been easy. I'm using perl 5.28.1 activestate and I am having issues installing the perl/tk modules. Has anyone else been having issues? I'm using CPAN issuing command install Tk everything goes by and at the end it gives error of dmake not ok. Other modules are not having this issue. Thanks in advance.

      PPM is not included in the Activestate perl versions anymore.

      'c' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
      operable program or batch file.
      rc -fo tk.res -r -i . -i mTk\win\rc mTk\win\rc\tk.rc
      'rc' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
      operable program or batch file.
      dmake.exe: Error code 129, while making 'tk.res'
      dmake: Error code 255, while making 'pTk\libpTk.a'

        It ships with Strawberry, so you could either install it from source and go that way, or see all of the above and consider actually telling us details required to assist with your issue, in lieu of a crystal ball. Strawberry perl and a sensible error report is the path of least pain for all concerned.
