Hi all, I have not had to mess with this stuff for a few years so bear with me... I'm trying to set up perl on my new computer and as usual, I'm getting indecipherable errors. Win11, StrawberryPerl 5.38.2.2. Open a cmd window, type cpan, type Install Tk... eventually I get:
../pTk/mTk/xlib/X11/X.h:182:34: error: expected identifier or '(' befo
+re numeric constant
  182 | #define ControlMask             (1<<2)
      |                                  ^
