sorry - the name 'tkperl' as far as I 'get it' really no longer
exists as a stand alone application - that you really will want
to chase down - assuming that you are not trying to do the
mix and match perl/TK and Tcl/TK where you have
Tcl::Tk to call out TK tricks using both
perl and Tcl concurrently

Good to know you feel at home with the old make gags,
many of 'the younger crowd' are still new to the silly
problems that come from trying to make non-existent targets.

ok, let us step back and ask a few questions:
a) how did you build your perl?
b) how did you build your perl/Tk ?
I think you will find that you can start a few test codings of the form
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use Tk;
and that they will do what you are expecting of them, and that
you do not need to go out and find a tkperl.
while google searching I found:
http://www.rosat.mpe-garching.mpg.de/mailing-
lists/ptk/1997-06/msg00062.html
and it is not clear to me why one would wish to go back to say
perl 5.003_93
or TK400.202 for that matter....
hence when You get to say:
http://www.sunset-cliffs.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/tkperl-
examples/tk_colormenu.pl?rev=1.1.1.1&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup
that uRL may need to be hand lifted into a webBrowser,
you will note that they are doing that without the need
of any special utility tkperl...
