in thread Perl5.26 installing Tk module manually

Hi Marshall

I was doing the same, instead of 5.26 I built 5.28 including Tk module, after install 5.28 and when using Tk mode I hit the handshake error, may be I can try your package, could you please share the package link, so I will download and try out?. Thanks in advance.

All is well. I learn by answering your questions...

    Ok. Here is the URL to an MSI file with Perl 5.26 that includes Tk.

    I think that this is the public build (Oops)

    Uninstall any AS (Active State) builds. Reboot computer. Then run this MSI. Reboot computer.
    Windows LOVES to be rebooted. When I had a sun workstation, we rebooted it once per year during Christmas holidays.
    Make a .pl file: 

    use strict;
use warnings;
use Tk;

    [download]
    That should do nothing. And if it did nothing, then Tk got loaded. Then further testing can proceed with actual Tk statements.

    I seem to get different URLs from my AS account for the same download each time I do it. I'm not sure why that is. The above URL doesn't seem to be specific to my account on AS, so I think it is safe to post it.

      Hi,

      I am still getting the same handshake error

      Event.c: loadable library and perl binaries are mismatched (got handshake key 00000008000004B0, needed 0000000000000000)

      I have started a topic in the active state community, https://community.activestate.com/t/activeperl-5-26-3-with-tk-handshake-error/6601

      Hi Marshall

      I am not getting this handshake error in a perl script, and not in other scripts and I found the difference in the shebang line, when I use #!perl I get handshake error. When I use #!wperl I did n't get the handshake error it works fine as expected.

      All is well. I learn by answering your questions...

        OK. As I understand it the .MSI file I gave you worked for Perl 5.26?

        Windows does not use the shebang line for path information. However options after perl are processed.

        #!/usr/bin/perl

        [download]
        is a NOOP in Windows Perl. However options after perl are processed like -w etc.
        I prefer explicit statements like use warnings;.

    I don't know what went wrong. But the public 5.28 build already included Tk. The 5.26 public build had Tkx but not Tk.
