So I am trying to install Perl/Tk 800.024 on a Win2K machine running perl version 5.005_03 and am having some trouble. Just so you know, my installation of Perl came with Matlab.

I tried to generate the makefile by running the Makefile.pl script and it aborted: 
Cannot find 'U:\bat\nt\Perl5.18\lib/CORE/perl.h' have you installed C:
+\MATLAB6p5\sys\perl\win32\bin\
perl.exe?

[download]

So I guess this is because of the way perl was installed on my machine by the admin. I have the necessary libraries, etc. but at a different location than the Config module the script uses thinks. I tried to get around this by creating a virtual 'U:' drive.

The makefiles then successfully generated but when I tried to make after a while it aborted.

Can someone please help me get Tk installed on my machine? Thanks.
