I am trying to install Tk on Windows XP SP3 box. I have installed ActivePerl (v. 5.14.2).
I just read in the book "Perl Black Book 2nd Ed. by Steven Holzner" that on Windows "ppm.pl" can be run to install a Perl Module. But there is no such file in "bin" directory:
Code:
C:\Perl\bin>dir ppm*
...
Directory of C:\Perl\bin
04/25/2011 01:55 AM 58,770 ppm
07/22/2009 06:25 PM 500 ppm-shell
10/07/2011 04:51 PM 918 ppm-shell.bat
10/07/2011 04:51 PM 59,188 ppm.bat
(The "ppm.bat" opens the Perl Package Manager.)
So, I just run the ppm program and got the following error/output:
Code:
C:\Perl\bin>ppm install Tk
Downloading ActiveState Package Repository packlist...failed 500 Can't connect to ppm4.activestate.com:80 (timeout)
ppm install failed: Can't find any package that provides Tk
C:\Perl\bin>
Any other method?
There is Tkx installed and as shown by the Perl Package Manager. Is it same?
