in thread error in perl TK module post installation

well, your installation is not correct: infact you receive an error.

If so unistall and reinstall correctly can be, if not a solution, a workaround.

In addition I have no such file auto/Tk/bootstrap.al in my, working Tk installation on strawberry perl.

crosspost is not prohibited here at the monastery but is considerate polite to tell us you already asked for the same question on another site.

As messeged, consider to reformat a bit your original post to make it a more legible.

    sir, Can you please tell me how can I uninstall the Tk module and again install it on my windows 7. I tried the perl script but for uninstalling but i guess its not working properly or maybe something might from my side. I request you to suggest some other ways of uninstalling if possible. I am sorry for the crosspot it wont happen in future.

      Hello kally,

      first thanks to have reformat your OP, and no sir please, we are just monks.. ;=)

      Crosspost are permitted but you better say it explicitally in the OP, with the link to the crosspost itself.

      As already said you can try to uninstall Tk using cpanm alias cpanminus, that comes with the module App::cpanm so:

      cmd_prompt> cpan

cpan> install App::cpanminus

[...]
Ok
cpan> q
Lockfile removed.


# now cpanm is installed; see the help..
cmd_prompt> cpanm --help
[..]
-U,--uninstall            Uninstalls the modules (EXPERIMENTAL)
[..]

cmd_prompt> cpanm -U Tk
Tk contains the following files:

[..]

Are you sure you want to uninstall Tk? [y] y

[..]

Successfully uninstalled Tk

cmd_prompt>perl -MTk -e 1
Can't locate Tk.pm in @INC...

# reinstall using cpan client
# UPDATE: or as marto suggest, now you have cpanm use it to reinstall 
+because it is much faster

cmd_prompt> cpan -i Tk

# go take some coffe or tea pot..

  SREZIC/Tk-804.033.tar.gz
  C:\path\strawberry\c\bin\dmake.exe install UNINST=1 -- OK


cmd_prompt> perl -MTk -c -e 1
-e syntax OK
