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

I am trying to get Perl/Tk to work on my Alpha/OSF system (Compaq DS20 running Tru64 Unix 4.0F). I am using perl 5.6.0 and Tk800_021. I gunzip and untar the download, then I do "perl Makefile.PL", then I do "make" - so far, so good. But when I do "make test" I get complaints about something called "GC" already being "registered" in something called "Tk_GetGC". I freely admit that this means nothing to me. "make install" succeeds without complaint - but if I try the simplest "hello world" type program it chokes. If I run it with the -T flag I get a complaint that something is tainted in Tk/MainWindow.pm. Without the -T (but with -w) I get a message saying "Tcl_Panic at /usr/local/ ... Tk/Widget.pm". Please, someone help me! - curt
