Actually, I was just repeating what I'd heard from other sources. I always use a shared libperl anyway, and I've never had a need to Tk myself. The Perl builds supplied by Apple are linked dynamically though, so it's only an issue if you've built your own Perl. sherm-- Cocoa programming in Perl: http://camelbones.sourceforge.net Hire me!

What version of perl do you have? Give us the error messages you're getting. What jumps immediately to mind is that the latest Tk.pm will only install under perl 5.8.0+, but Jaguar shipped with 5.6.0. So you'll need to update your perl, if you haven't already. But your problem could be something else entirely. More info. HTH, jay
