Hm, getting a little closer, thank you, but I now get this:

If you're using ActiveState perl you have to install a Compiler and build tools, they do not ship as default (though they do in Strawberry Perl). From the command prompt: `ppm MinGW` [download] Once it's finished installing retry your Tk installation.	[reply] [d/l]

thanks, but this didn't work. Not sure why I'm seeing the cpan repository with 0 packages.

Ah, I'm sorry, ActiveState don't provide this package on Windows 64bit (Re^2: problems installing PAR::Packer (pp) on Windows 7). You'd need to install it yourself. The easy alternative is to switch to Strawberry Perl. It comes with many more modules and tools as standard, including MinGW.	[reply]

Then try the other thing, the one not involving mingw, the one not involving 32-bit perl	[reply]
