tk.pm w/Tk::DateEntry Error

gibsonca has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I'm working with an existing older perl script, and while I was able to install tk.pm, I was not sure how to fix the following error:

#!/usr/local/bin/perl
  use strict;
  use warnings;
  use Tk;
  use Tk::ProgressBar;
  use Tk::DateEntry;
[download]

perl sysgen.pl

Can't locate Tk/DateEntry.pm in @INC (@INC contains: C:/Perl/site/lib C:/Perl/lib .) at sysgen.pl line 10. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at sysgen.pl line 10.

I can comment out this with no ill effects, but on the other hand I was not sure my installation of Tk.pm was perfect.

Windows XP, Perl v5.14.2

If you want to fix your error, you need to install Tk::DateEntry, which is not part of the Tk distribution. Not all Tk::* modules are part of the Tk distribution; some must be installed separately.	[reply]

I see toolic has provided a solution to your specific problem. Here's two links I keep bookmarked - you may find them useful for future reference: List of Tk distribution modules List of user contributed Tk modules -- Ken	[reply]
