Re: How to install Tk-ImageButton module in perl 5.12 using ppm

According to Activestate there is no Windows package for Tk::ImageButton for Perl versions > 5.10. But all is not lost - see the following

CPAN main page for Tk::ImageButton
README from above says:
If that doesn't work then just copy the: ImageButton.pm ImageButton.pod files into your site_lib/Tk directory.

So, save ImageButton.pm and ImageButton.pod to your C:\Perl\site\lib\Tk (or C:\Perl64 if you're running 64-bit) and you'll be good to go.

update: A quick test to make sure the above works:

use strict;
use warnings;
use Tk;
use Tk::ImageButton;

my $mw = MainWindow->new;
my $someimage = $mw->Photo(-format => 'bmp', -file => 'C:/WINDOWS/Zapo
+tec.bmp');
my $otherimage = $mw->Photo(-format => 'bmp', -file => 'C:/WINDOWS/Gre
+enstone.bmp');
my $ib = $mw->ImageButton(
  -imagedisplay => $someimage,
  -imageclick => $otherimage,
  -command => [ sub { print "It works"; } ],
)->pack;

MainLoop;

There is no need for those desperate measures, just run `cpan DHICKLING/Tk-ImageButton-1.0.tar.gz` and be finished	[reply] [d/l]

Which is fine, if You have a compiler. (Eg. Your company rules allow you to have a compiler on your system.) And if that compiler produces binaries compatible with your AS perl installation. And if CPAN is configured to work through you corporate firewall. And if CPAN doesn't screw your compiler environment up by insisting on downloading an ancient version of nmake. Or installing MingW without asking. Or ... With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday' Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
