I have no experience with building Tk in a windows-only environment, because I always use Cygwin, with full X11 installed, and ActivePerl comes with Tk bundled, so I have no need to build myself. As Strawberry obviously is a similar build to ASperl ($^O - wise that is), adding MSWin32 can do no harm.

Anyway, by now I really hate the title of this thread, as I value Strawberry more and more with every experience. It is all doable. At least for me. I'm just sharing my experiences here hoping the product will get even better with the next build.

I can understand your point of seeing Tk as bloat to Strawberry, and if the new CPAN option solves that, I would not miss it, as building it with cpan then will yield no additional problems.

Is there any reason why the install path for Strawberry is fixed at C:\Strawberry? I have those utils at D: normally, and I can imagine a network share as install path so all can share it's beauty without having to install it.


Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn
