Hi I am using activestate perl 5.14. How do I include Tk package when I store it in the same directory as my script.?

Please forgive me, but I have to ask: why do you want to do that?

Normally the best way with ActivePerl is to use the ppm tool (just type ppm at the command prompt to start the GUI version) and let the installer do its thing (puts Tk in the normal directory package directory structure). With 5.14 and I think even 5.12, Tk does not come as part of the base installation.

There are ways to put Tk somewhere else, but this can get messy and before getting really involved in something complicated, understanding your rationale would help me because there may be another way to achieve what you want that is easier. This may be what is known as an XY problem..you are asking about how to do X, but what you really may need is to learn how to do Y.
