I decided I'd attempt to install using the interactive CPAN stuff.
Here's a short history:
I ran "perl -MCPAN -e shell" to launch the utility.
At the "cpan>" prompt I executed "install Bundle::Tk" -- and we were off to the races. Things were going pretty well until I encountered the following:
<snip> cp widget ../blib/script/widget /usr/bin/perl "-MExtUtils::MY" -e "MY->fixin(shift)" ../blib/script/widget Unrecognized switch: --center (-h will show valid options) make[1]: *** [manifypods] Error 29 make[1]: Leaving directory '/root/.cpan/build/Tk800.024/demos' make: *** [subdirs] Error 2 /usr/bin/make -- NOT OK Running make test Can't test without successful make Running make install make had returned bad status, install seems impossible Bundle summary: The following items in Bundle::Tk had installation problems: Tk </snip>
Has anyone encountered this before? I've examined "Makefile" and it seems to me that the error exists either on line 842 or on line 790, but I'm not sure which. Line 842 reads:
FIXIN = $(PERLRUN) "-MExtUtils::MY" -e "MY->fixin(shift)
and line 790 reads
POD2MAN_EXE = $(PERLRUN) "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" -e pod2man --center "perl/Tk"
What might I do to fix this aberrant behavior?
Thanks.

Greetings, All!
I was going to attempt to learn a bit of Perl/Tk, but I've run into a bit of trouble installing the Tk module.
Here's some information about my system: Red Hat 8.0, Perl version 5.8.0.
I downloaded Tk-800.024.tar.gz from CPAN. I gunzipped and extracted everything OK.
The "perl Makefile.PL" command went off without a hitch.
However, I'm not certain that the "make" command is completing properly. Here's a snippet from the typescript file:
<snip>
Manifying blib/man1/ptked.1
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/Tk/Tk800.024/pod'
Sorry no HTML building yet
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/Tk/Tk800.024/pod'
]0;[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/local/src/Tk/[EMAIL PROTECTED] Tk800.024]# [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tk800.024]# [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tk800.024]# [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tk800.024]# [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tk800.024]# [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tk800.024]# [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tk800.024]# [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tk800.024]# [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tk800.024]# [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tk800.024]# exit
</snip>
I searched through the typescript file, but I didn't find anything else that looked "suspicious".
Thanks for your help.
If you havent done any fancy thing on your redhat ( like upgrading perl or libc )
get perl-Tk rpms ( from rpmfind.net for eg.) and install them Save yourself the bother of compiling
