Not to spoil your fun, but the Activestate Perl distribution is precompiled and runs just fine. Precompiled Perl, TK, and a good portion of CPAN. If you're compiling because you like to, then continue having fun. But if you're compiling Perl and TK because you come from Unix and think that's the best way to go, I suggest having a look at http://activestate.com/Products/ActivePerl/?mp=1
