I'm a programmer who's been lucky enough to spend most of my career working on Solaris installations.
As such, I find myself now having to develop code at my new job on NT. (ack!)

Sooooo....
I tried, and failed miserably getting Tk to work... By now I've reinstalled PERL a few times. I've tried ActiveState, IndigoPerl, and an older 5.004 implementation.
So far - no luck finding a binary to get this working.
I've recently put on a new C compiler & installed nmake.exe to try compiling from scratch like I would under UNIX.
But it only seems to create more problems.

Is there a decent package somewhere that I can download to use the Tk.pm module under Windows NT?
It would be so nice to be able to type perl -e "use Tk;" and not have a problem.

Thanks in advance!

Wait! This isn't a Parachute, this is a Backpack!
