Re^4: Where is Perl/Tk? bribes.org is offline?

[marto]

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.

C:\Perl64\site\lib\Tk>ppm install MinGW

ppm install failed: Can't find any package that provides MinGW

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.
