I have finished development of a little quiz program using Tk. I developed on my Linux machine, "knowing" that Active State had a version of Perl with Tk available. Now I find out that my knowledge is old -- I can't find any way to get a working Tk distribution for any version of ActivePerl. (The proxy on this network won't work with the automated ppm program, so I need to be able to directly download the package, which used to be possible, but even that seems to be causing me problems.)

How can I go about getting a working Perl-Tk on this system? (There is a machine around with an older version -- maybe I will be lucky and the install files are still on the machine… but otherwise, I definitely need a solution quickly.

Thanks in advance.
