Tk not supported in ActiveState Perl 5.14+

[slugger415]

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.

Thanks, this is useful! Scott

If the links to get Tk are unsatisfactory, and you need to use Tkx for a Dialog, see [Tkx] Search for dialog box for text input for Tkx::package_require('widget::dialog');

Perhaps switching to Strawberry Perl (or its derivative, DWIM Perl) is an option?

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.
