Re: Install Tk-804.030 with Perl 5.12.3 on Windows 7

Are you running ActiveState Perl or Strawberry Perl? If ActiveState then you need to install a C compiler and build tools. To install these from the command line:

ppm install MinGW

Once that's installed (again, from the command prompt):

cpan Tk

Note that as others have stated previous versions of Tk are installable via PPM.

Update: For clarification I just installed this using Strawberry Perl v5.12.3 on Windows XP.

Update 2: ppm error fixed. I forgot the install part.

I've noticed a mistake in my previous post. Open a command prompt, type: `ppm install MinGW` [download] PPM will then download and install a C compiler and build tools.	[reply] [d/l]
