briefly: - I think you didn't installed perl module Tcl from CPAN - it requires compilation (there exists one XS file), but there are binaries for ActivePerl 5.8.x. However if you have possibility to rebuild it, you should do this yourself
- Tcl::Tk gives you ability to use both syntaxes: perlTk and Tcl/Tk ways to create widgets all are acceptable. - Tcl::Tk perl module has users mailing list (CCed) which is curently not active to the moment. more information and screenshots at Tcl::Tk wiki at http://vkonovalov.ru/cgi-bin/perl-tcltk-wiki.cgi Best regards, Vadim. > -----Original Message----- > From: Hidasi Zsolt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, March 23, 2005 5:43 PM > To: Konovalov, Vadim > Subject: RE: Hungarian Runic writing > > > Dear Vadim, > > I tried to install Tcl-Tk [0.87] on a Windows machine via ppm > with OK status, but something should be wrong, because when I > use tcl module perl can't locate tcl.pm.
