Re: How to install Tk-ImageButton module in perl 5.12 using ppm

[keszler]

According to Activestate there is no Windows package for Tk::ImageButton for Perl versions > 5.10. But all is not lost - see the following

• CPAN main page for Tk::ImageButton
• README from above says:

  If that doesn't work then just copy the: ImageButton.pm ImageButton.pod files into your site_lib/Tk directory.

So, save ImageButton.pm and ImageButton.pod to your C:\Perl\site\lib\Tk (or C:\Perl64 if you're running 64-bit) and you'll be good to go.

update: A quick test to make sure the above works:

use strict;
use warnings;
use Tk;
use Tk::ImageButton;

my $mw = MainWindow->new;
my $someimage = $mw->Photo(-format => 'bmp', -file => 'C:/WINDOWS/Zapo
+tec.bmp');
my $otherimage = $mw->Photo(-format => 'bmp', -file => 'C:/WINDOWS/Gre
+enstone.bmp');
my $ib = $mw->ImageButton(
  -imagedisplay => $someimage,
  -imageclick => $otherimage,
  -command => [ sub { print "It works"; } ],
)->pack;

MainLoop;
