in reply to Install Tk-804.030 with Perl 5.12.3 on Windows 7

If you're using ActiveState's perl, use ppm search Tk but a quick check today showed that the current version for Perl 5.014 is 804.029... which may or may not be the case for 5.012.

If you don't have ppm available, or it finds only an older version than you want, you'll have to read up on installing a module from CPAN. You can find the relevant nodes by using Super Search and appropriate search terms.

    The bribes repo, too, currently has only 804.029:
    ppm install http://www.bribes.org/perl/ppm/Tk.ppd

    I have tried ppm search Tk and I've got the following answer: *** no packages matching 'Tk' found *** I have written "ppm search Tk" in cmd prompt in the current directory where I have installed perl 5.12.3 (D:\5123\bin\)

      Perhaps you need to add bribes to your repo list.

      You can check by running (from the command prompt -- forgive my mentioning the obvious if it's unnecessary): ppm repo list and if the response doesn't include bribes, add it with:

        ppm repo add *url* [ *name* ] [ --username *user* [ --password *pass
+word* ]
      Set up a new repository for PPM to fetch packages from.

      You may also want to read ppm's help file ... and comprehensive (but long) explanation of the many options available when running ppm from the CLI.

        I had written in cmd "ppm repo list" and I have got the answer: 1 Да 0 Да ActiveState Package Repository Да 2 Да 0 Да bribes Да 3 Да 0 Да wxperl Да 4 Да 0 Да ppm4.activestate Да So as far as I see I have the bribes. But when I run now "ppm search Tk" the following answer shows: "Downloading ActiveState Package Repository packlist...not found Downloading bribes packlist...not found Downloading wxperl packlist...not found"

        thanks guys a lot I solved it. The issue was that the http:proxy was not set right and I could not connect to the repositories. Tk works fine it is the 804.029 version
