Tk not supported in ActiveState Perl 5.14+

slugger415 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello monks, I am distressed to see that the Tk module is not supported in later versions of the ActiveState version of Perl http://code.activestate.com/ppm/Tk/. I have new users wanting to use a script I wrote a few years ago that are unable to install the module. What are my choices? I see a module called Tkx but know nothing about it -- would it be difficult to port my script over to that? I also use Tk::Dialog which isn't in the list.

Thank you.

    Tkx and Perl Tk are not compatible. Different APIs. As other said, look for a different PPM repository, ActiveState's build farm is notorious for not working.
