ActiveState has Perl-Tk prebuilt as a PPM. You should be able to get it
from their webstie or via the ppm command-line tool:
C:\>ppm
PPM interactive shell (2.1.2) - type 'help' for available commands.
PPM> install Tk
Install package 'Tk?' (y/N): y
Installing package 'Tk'...
.... <lots of stuff prints out>
Writing D:\Perl\site\lib\auto\Tk\.packlist
PPM>
When that's done, type 'pktsh' at the command-line, and you get a little
interactive shell to play with stuff.
Isn't Perl cool?
