Will,
Tk is one of the easy ones.
Just type "ppm install Tk".

P.S. I would add that I also get acid indigestion when it
comes to compiling on windows. On unix the process of
perl Makefile.PL + make + make install works most every
time. On windows a similar aproach *should* be possible,
but I have yet to do this.
I know that I can compile *some* things under Cygwin on
windows. (pdksh succeeded, emacs failed (easy vs hard))
But I am not yet sure how to compile in a Cygwin shell
and yet install to my normal perl5.6 install area.
i.e. Cygwin has its own concept of where it is...it will
try to install perl and extensions into /usr/lib,
but this is really C:\cygwin\lib. Check this:
=================
administrator@CHAHN-DEV /usr/lib
$ df -k /usr/lib
Filesystem 1024-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on
C:\cygwin\bin 17911712 7242432 10669280 40% /usr/bin
=================
I have not worked too much at this, but am interested in
finding a proven "compiling perl + mods on Nt/2000 recipe".
Let us know if you find it.

Subject: newbyish question: guide to installing CPAN modules
Hi, all.
I'm stumped on how to install a module into my AS perl (v5.6 build 622). I
don't know and don't want to learn C or C++ and I've no C/C++ compiler (I
will get one only if I have to). If I can avoid learning about makefiles,
etc, I would much prefer to stay ignorant of them for now (got enough other
stuff to deal with).
So far I haven't found any description of the ppm process that is dummied
down enough for me to follow. For instance, Nancy Walsh's mention on p5 of
Perl/Tk got me started, but the README-ActiveState.txt from
TK800.022.tar.gz talks of PerlCRT.dll and PerlCRT.lib which are not present
on my system and goes on to describe a "make" process that is suitable for
younger minds than mine.
I'm confused.
1. Where can I find dummied down instructions on loading a module?
2. What is the simplest way for me to get Tk capability?
TIA
-Will
