Back In Windows Hell, I am!
I'm working happily with Tk on Linux (RH7.0) and Perl. I've been asked to move a Linux perl program to Win 2000 (perl v. 5.6.0) it has a simple Tk front end. I tried installing Tk800.223 on Win 2000 but the compiles failed (both dmake and nmake).Active State and CPAN searches gave me NOTHING on Win32 binaries. Everything points pback to Tcl.
Is there:
1) a downloadable binary that can be easily installed
or
2) something other than Tk to draw a window from perl.
?
This was supposed to be a one hour project but has stretched into 2 days ... just like everything else when perl modules and Windows collide (sigh!)
Thanks!
Gary
