Hi,
Im trying to install the Graphics-Simple module from CPAN on ActivePerl but can't seem to get it to work. I ran the PPM install Graphics-Simple which worked ok, but then I tried to run the test program gt1.pl and it gave me an error about not having the Gtk module. I then went to CPAN to try to install Gtk but I can't get it to work. The first step in installing it - I think - is to type perl Makefile.pl in the directory, but it gives me an error about package gtk was needed but not detected and that gtk-config is not a command. So my basic question is whether this is the way to install CPAN modules on ActivePerl, and if there are any other things I should try. Thanks for any help,
Well I am not terribly familar with installing on windows nor using ActivePerl but it sounds like you were going about it in teh right manner. The Gtk problems sound like you do not have the proper Gtk C libraries installed. You will have to have those installed before installing the Gtk-perl module.

You may want to look into the cygwin distribution also, it may be an easier way to get the necessary items installed.
