Where's Tk?
I have Activestate Perl 5.12.2 (build 1202) installed. I can see some Tk extension packages in the PPM gui, but no sign of Tk itself.

Re: Where's Tk?
TK has been gone for a while now. TKX is a lot better for new applications but converting old scripts is a lot of work for anything not short and simple. I have to maintain duplicate installations to be able to maintain my old TK stuff and it is a real challenge to keep everything working. Every time I upgrade perl I cringe with the anticipation of what will no longer work. I do understand that it is a good idea to upgrade to TKX but I have dozens of old applications that need occasional attention and are not worth the conversion to TKX. I would love to see good old TK back again. On 12/16/2010 5:02 AM, Brian Raven wrote: I have Activestate Perl 5.12.2 (build 1202) installed.

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

There's a ppm package for Tk-804.029 at the bribes repo.

RE: Where's Tk?
Hi, FYI on our end we had quite some problems with perl 5.12 and Tk. Looks like it is not anymore compliant, supported or developped ... Sorry I lost the corrsponding threads. We had to find a different solution.
