in thread Tk:Photo -data with binary data?

Okay. I pulled ActiveTcl and installed without problems. Making Tcl/Tk went further, but:

what is " Tcl 0.85"? Is this another perl package? Or should it be satisfied by the ActiveTcl iinstallation meaning I've got a path/env problem?

    Tcl::Tk requires Tcl CPAN module, which in turn wants Tcl/Tk installation, because Tcl is the thin bridge module between Perl and Tcl.

    BTW another CPAN module which provides Tcl/Tk GUI is Tkx, it also connects to Tcl/Tk via Tcl. It is extremely thin and do not provide perl/Tk syntax.

    BTW this approach has its mailing list tcltk@perl.org , so you'll get all answers there.

      Thanks, it's all compiled clean, tested perfectly and installed.

      All that's needed is a couple of hints in the POD about the dependancies. Once you know what's required (& where to get it), the order to build/install them in, the installation is extremely clean and trouble free.

      Of course, now I've got to work out how to use it... :)

        be sure to look at few examples

        As a good technique, you can mix pure-Tcl/Tk to create GUI and use perl/Tk syntax during the program for managing it.
