in reply to Tk::TableMatrix won't build on Strawberry 5.26.0

The only way I could get Tk::TableMatrix and Tk::TableMatrix::Spreadsheet to build on Win10 Strawberry Perl 5.30.1 was to download the 'portable edition' .zip of an old version of strawberry (5.19 i think it was). From inside the old version .zip, take .\c\bin\dmake.exe and the folder .\c\bin\startup\* and copy+overwrite those to the local .\c\bin\ of your current Strawberry install.

After that, open a portable shell with the .bat from your current Strawberry install, and do a 'cpanm --look Tk::TableMatrix' to download the package from CPAN and auto cd to correct dir. From here do:

perl Makefile.PL MAKE=dmake
dmake test
dmake install

This is the only thing that ever compiled and passed testing for me after scouring the 'net and trying various other things that never worked.
