in reply to cpanm tk and Finance::GeniusTrader

Hi, don't rely on a cpan module, learn to do it manually. For Tk just download Tk latest tarball .

Then:
tar -zxvf Tk-804.030.tar.gz
perl Makefile.PL
make
make install ( do install as root )

    In which directory do i need to put it? It is in downloads and I used the tar command but it can't find the script perl Makefile.Pl, Do I need to move the .tar.gz to the directory with the makefile.pl and then rerun the tar commmand and the rest? or do I need to change the directory to the script location and just continue with all the commands?

      Just did it sorry for the useless question, I make installed it and the perl -MTk -e 1 command does not give output, Are the dependencies installed too? Is this all I had to do:)?

      # perl Makefile.PL # make # make test
        Is this all I had to do:)?

        You dont show make install done as root or with sudo.
