I checked the version of each:
hp83k perl5.8.8
hp93k perl4
so I guessed it was the version problem
after the installation of perl5.8.8 on hp93k
the error message became:

Can't locate Tk/MMtry.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /home/prod/zDavid/Tk8

any suggestion will be pleased
and,
during the installation of perl5.8.8
there were some error messages,but continued on
how do I know if the installation is successfully?
how can I find the error messages showed up?
can any monks explain each command below for me?
Configure -des
make
make test
make install
I just typed in each everytime and watched the process
but not knowing what was going on
thanks
