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

Once it's finished installing retry your Tk installation.

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

How to install CPAN modules into ActivePerl

[slugger415]

Hi, thanks -- I tried installing MinGW and get this:

C:\Perl64\site\lib\Tk>ppm install MinGW
Downloading ActiveState Package Repository packlist...done
Updating ActiveState Package Repository database...done
ppm install failed: Can't find any package that provides MinGW

And the cpan repository appears empty:

C:\working\ic-metrics\ICCrawler>ppm rep
┌────┬───────┬────────────────────────────────┐
│ id │ pkgs  │ name                           │
├────┼───────┼────────────────────────────────┤
│  1 │ 16711 │ ActiveState Package Repository │
│  2 │     0 │ cpan                           │
│  3 │   n/a │ bribes                         │
│  4 │    13 │ wxperl                         │

I appreciate your help -- sorry if I'm running around in circles!
