Re^6: Tk::Canvas not working

Thanks to both of you for your help. Still, the time has come for me to give up for now. Tk will not install even with force turned on and AV turned off. Its log says that there is a file not found but I can determine what file it means. I probably should reinstall perl, but have become a bit gun-shy.

Tk will not install even with force turned on and AV turned off. Could it be that Windows Defender is the culprit ? That definitely happened to me once and I had to turn Windows Defender off to get a full install of a gcc package I had downloaded from https://winlibs.com. I eventually found a way to re-enable Windows Defender such that the problematic file was not removed ... but I forget the exact process. I think there was some way of telling Windows Defender to accept that specific file, despite it being deemed malevolent. Cheers, Rob	[reply]

The following procedure resolved all related issues. Uninstall strawberry perl Turn off anti-virus in Norton for one hour Install strawberry perl Install TK as described in previous posts Turn on anti-virus Install several modules required by my script Run the script. Norton quarantined the same file as before. This time, I found and selected the option to restore this file and make it an exception to the anti-virus checking Run my script successfully!!
