Gone in the sense that Activestate is not building ppm's for it. Slaven announced Tk 804.029 back in May, granted it's more of a maintenance release. You can still build it via CPAN although I haven't tried that on ActivePerl. I never could figure out how to get a full mimic of Tk::Hlist and the adjuster widget going so I just stick with Tk for now. I think on Strawberry 5.10 it was as simple as install Tk, but there were a couple of build issues on 5.12 (as Jeff Hobbs mentioned to the mailing list while I was writing this email :) ) _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list Perl-Win32-Users@listserv.ActiveState.com To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
