I have continued to search for answers, but have not found an "ideal" solution so far. I saw a couple of mentions of problems installing Tk with Strawberry Perl. One person had satisfactory results "forcing the install". But before I attempted this I uninstalled Strawberry Perl 5.16 and DWIM (which is what gave me Strawberry Perl 5.14). I then reinstalled DWIM, which put back in the 32-bit version of Perl 5.14. Then I attempted to use cpan to get Tk again (without forcing the install). It again failed. I looked up how to do a forced install. I used cpan -f -i Tk This seemed to work. I ran the widget command and everything seemed to work fine. I have a couple of questions: 1) Should I have any concerns about what I did? 2) Should I stick with DWIM and its associated Padre and Perl versions until they release a new binary version for Windows?
