Hey Bill,
I have never grabbed the .zip files from ActiveState. I always just
run PPM and let it get the files... I believe you can do it manually,
I just have never had a reason to try. At a guess, you may have
problems locating the .ppm file?

Internet Mail Service (5.5.2653.19) to write:

CBT> Yes, I downloaded the Tk.zip file from ActiveState not CPAN and
