Re^5: error in perl TK module post installation

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

hey , I figured out that when I am using "instmodsh" command to get the list of the modules installed I am getting the "Tk module among the list of installed modules. Now i dont know why I am getting the same error for each program I am running using the Tk module. I f the Tk module is handsomely installed then it should not give any kind of such errors. Please help me out I am stuck in it from a long time thanks in advance.	[reply]

> I am stuck in it from a long time I have not understood: have you uninstalled and then reinstalled `Tk` module? It sounds like an error coming from a somehow wrong installation (perhaps you manually downloaded and made a version not for your platform?), so reinstall in saner way seems a viable option. Have you followed my previous advices? update: see Re: What is the /auto/ directory used for? where I discored what `.al` files are for. L* There are no rules, there are no thumbs..
