For win32 platforms use nmake instead of make (After download and inflate, put nmake.exe and nmake.err in c:\windows\command) So you can do: `perl Makefile.pl nmake nmake test nmake install` [download] This works for pure Perl modules. If the module contains XS, you need a C compiler, e.g. VC++	[reply] [d/l]

Hello, We cannot help you without error messages. Please always provide relevant information, including error messages Anyway, if your problem is dependancies relative, you may want to use the CPAN module : `perl -MCPAN -e 'install Tk::Your_Widget;'` HTH -- zejames Update : you probably want to install a special Widget, no the whole Tk.

Why don't you downloading a normal ppm file and install it using ppm?	[reply]
