    The following should install Tk on SP-5.40.0 and earlier: 
    cpanm https://github.com/StrawberryPerl/Perl-Dist-Strawberry/releases/
+download/patched_cpan_modules/Tk-804.036_001.tar.gz

    [download]
    For SP-5.42.0, you'll need to run: 
    cpanm https://github.com/StrawberryPerl/Perl-Dist-Strawberry/releases/
+download/patched_cpan_modules/Tk-804.036_001.tar.gz --configure-args=
+"OPTIMIZE=-Os"

    [download]
    If any tests fail, you'll need to use force - but all tests should pass, anyway.
    If any tests do fail, please report back.

    UPDATE:
    And, for future, questions regarding Strawberry Perl issues should be addressed to either:
    https://github.com/StrawberryPerl/Perl-Dist-Strawberry/issues
    or
    https://github.com/StrawberryPerl/Perl-Dist-Strawberry/discussions

    That way, one gets to ask for (and receive) assistance in a user-friendly way without the requester (and/or responder) having to endure this generally unusable perlmonks platform.

    Cheers,
    Rob
