Having migrated to Windows 7 has left me without one of my favorite Perl Modules - Tk When attempting to install Tk under CPAN, I get the following, note we ran out of room to have the complete listing. I appologize, in advanced for the lack of completeness. Initial commands: 
cpan
C:\Users\charlers\Desktop>cpan
Set up gcc environment - gcc.exe (gcc-4.6.3 release with patches [buil
+d 20121012
 by perlmingw.sf.net]) 4.6.3

cpan shell -- CPAN exploration and modules installation (v1.9456)
Enter 'h' for help.


cpan>
install Tk

... lots of the install process...
