The error message shows that the Tk.pm perl module is not installed. I'm not sure how Redhat would handle this; I generally just install perl modules from the source. First you'd fetch the latest version of Tk.pm from cpan.org: wget http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/Tk/Tk800.015.tar.gz Then untar it and cd into its directory: tar xzf Tk800.015.tar.gz cd Tk800.015 Now build and install it (as root): perl Makefile.PL make make install On 5 Nov 1999, Shirley Rieven wrote: > I recently got a linux machine running redhat 6.1 and would like to > write perl scripts using the Tk library.
