in reply to strawberry perl in wine?

In addition to what Marto said, why not do a dual-boot? If you really wanted to support Windows, you may as well run it under real windows, or you will probably waste time tracking down bugs caused by Wine. Of course, that means you may need to buy a Windows license......:-(.

As an alternative, you might see if Camelbox: A build of Gtk2-Perl for Windows CamelBox will run under Wine. I installed CamelBox into my pre-installed Vista Basic on my laptop, and it has Tk and a bunch of other modules contained in it(optionally). I did start the Camelbox installer under Wine (Ubuntu Intrepid's version), and it seemed to start up and run, but I did not fully try to complete the install, so YMMV depending on Wine version, etc.

    The app uses Perl/Tk, not Gtk.

      CamelBox gives you some checkbox options to install Perl/Tk, as well as many other useful modules, like DBM, Tk, and networking modules. I test Perl/Tk on my Vista Basic running CamelBox.

        Hm... I played around with camelbox, and I guess I'm just baffled. I went through the checkboxes over and over again and never found any option to install Perl/Tk. Are we talking about different versions of camelbox or something? The one I found was camelbox_2008.304.0742Z-odin.exe. I also tried using camelbox's CPAN.pm to install modules, but it didn't work.
