Hi Monks,

I have been asked to move from ActiveState old perl version 5.8.8 to Strawberry Perl 5.32. So I uninstalled activestate perl and installed Strawberry perl.

I am trying to install the additional required modules using cpan command, but getting below error.

C:\Users\vinothg>cpan Tk
Loading internal logger. Log::Log4perl recommended for better logging
CPAN: CPAN::SQLite loaded ok (v0.219)

>(error): Could not expand [Tk]. Check the module name.
>(info): I can suggest names if you install one of Text::Levenshtein::
+XS, Text::Levenshtein::Damerau::XS, Text::Levenshtein, and Text::Leve
+nshtein::Damerau::PP
>(info): and you provide the -x option on invocation.
>(error): Skipping Tk because I couldn't find a matching namespace.
