in reply to installing tk::jpeg

I don't know what was wrong with your post, other than it seeming a little frantic.

But those last three added sentences are not going to help your cause. This is not a place where you can expect instant answers, or even complete answers sometimes, and certainly not a place where you can demand answers.

What progress did you make yourself in those three hours? Hopefully you weren't just waiting to be spoon-fed a solution.

    Thank you pbeckingham for your constructive comments and suggestions. And yes, my last three sentences were showing my frusteration, but not at a lack of an instant awnser, but at my question seemingly annoying some people. I have worked on this problem for a week before I dared to post a stupid question here. I know how valuable peoples time is, mine is as well. Only after hours upon hours of researching this had still not yielded me any solutions did I post this. I had read the other posts on this site dealing with install problems and Tk::JPEG to make sure I was not asking a question that had already been answered, but it appears I have misunderstood the attitude of this site. Sorry, I won't bother any of you again.

      dudley, don't be discouraged - downvotes don't matter, and don't mean much. People ++ and -- based on all kinds of reasons. My answer to yours is downvoted lower than your original question right now - but who cares?

      If you are frustrated at the lack of response, then maybe you are finding issues in areas where people are just not that knowledgeable. I certainly couldn't answer it, and there are many more knowledgeable and helpful folks here than I. Maybe even you're the first to find this problem. Maybe the folks that really know this only log on at other times of the day.

      Someone may yet provide an answer to your question.

      You'll always annoy someone. I for one only just saw your post, and yes, I did find it annoying that you chose to update your post to whine about XP, which is why I have now downvoted it. This will never help you get an answer and this is not why the update feature exists. You also did not indicate that you updated your original question.

      XP stands for eXperience Points, and it is not reputation (you don't get points for reputation).

      but it appears I have misunderstood the attitude of this site.
      It appears you may have. PerlMonks FAQ has a lot of reading material that may help you get an idea. My impression of the "attitude" reminds me of that Rolling Stones song, You Can't Always Get What You Want but if you try sometimes, you might find, you get what you need. And with that note, if you check CPAN you'll see that Tk::JPEG is part of the Tk distribution, meaning that if you have Tk installed (or the latest version of Tk), Tk::JPEG should also be installed.

      You can get a ppm of the latest version of Tk at the bribes repository. If you don't know where it , read A Guide to Installing Modules and my signature (PPM::Repositories).

      Sorry, I won't bother any of you again.
      You can come back anytime you want, but I hope the frustrated XP whore doesn't stop by again (meaning stop by and participate, but leave the frustration about xp out of your perl questions).

      I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6.x and 5.8.x -- I take requests (README).
