There are 2 ways you can go (I would choose number 1):
- Make sure that you have an open internet connection, start the
command shell (dos-box) of windows and type 'ppm{ENTER}'. {ENTER} means
the return-key.
If your Perl is installed correctly, you should gett the ppm-shell
saying something like 'ppm>'
If you see that, just type 'install tk{ENTER}' and wait a few minutes.
The ppm (=Perl package manager) is now locating the right version of
Perl/Tk over the internet, downloading it and installing it automatically.
Thats all.
This way is described on the main-page of the e:doc site.
- If you want to use your ZIP-file you will have to unpack the ZIP, that brings a small directory structure , a file called "tk.ppd" and a "tgz" or a "tar.gz" file in it.
You will have to uncompress this file too, then you get a subdirectory named "x86" that has very much files in it.
Now you can start ppm by 'ppm{ENTER}' and type there 'install "{correct_path}\tk.ppd"'.
This will install Perl/Tk too.
ATTENTION: Sometimes there are two or more versions of Perl out ther on ActiveStates homepage
Sometimes they need different versions of 'tk.zip', because they are compiled differently.
