Dear ActivePerl user,
This is an automated response to your recent question about ActivePerl.
We receive a large volume of email about many aspects of ActivePerl.
An overwhelming number of the questions relate either to issues that
are already well-documented, or of the kind that may receive a faster
response if sent to a more appropriate forum. In the hope that it may
be of help in addressing your question, allow us to point out some
further sources of information:
* ActiveState provides precompiled binaries of many Perl extensions
from CPAN, including Tk. These can be readily installed using the
PPM tool included with ActivePerl. For example, to install Tk after
installing ActivePerl, you would simply type "install Tk" at the
PPM prompt:
C:\> ppm
PPM interactive shell (1.1.4) - type 'help' for available commands.
PPM> install Tk
Running "perldoc ppm.bat" at the command prompt will show you
detailed information about PPM commands.
Simplified summary information on PPM is available at:
