Hello,
I would like to work with TK modules with perl for GUI programs.
I have downloaded perl-5.10.0.tar.gz to my PC.
Can you please tell me how to install Perl on my windows?
I only wanted the 5.10.x version of perl.
Please help.
Thank you.
Thanks for the response.But i had installed ActivePerl-5.14.1.1401-MSWin32-x86-294969, from the Active state.But unfortunately it supports only TKx modules instead of TK.I wanted to write GUI programs using TK instead of TKx.
Q1: Can i add TK module also? to ActivePerl-5.14.1.If yes, can you please tell me how?

Q2: I was able to find that TK module is available in Perl 5.10.x versions, hence I downloaded perl-5.10.0.tar.gz to my PC.But i dont have any idea of the installtion now,as this is a different approach to that of the simple click using .msi.

Thanks for the support.
 
If it's in tar.gz, you probably downloaded the linux version. Here are the most well-known Windows implementations-

here is a thread that will tell you the differences-

Also, the module may very well not be in the unofficial Windows implementations. Best of luck.
