The problem is, Red Hat 7.x doesn't include perl-tk with their iso images from the website (and there was mucho hassle in the one I found from rpmfind.org).

The first one is a solution (I think) to my problems; the second, an example of some perl-Tk - which I have written lots of. (wonder why I didn't get the first one on my google trawl??) The reason why I wanted (note the past tense) a perltk is because I regularly work on systems which don't have perl-Tk installed, and I don't have superuser access on these machines to do something about it! Yesterday evening, before I received this email, I worked a way around it: I compiled Tk, and copied it to ~/lib/perl5/ I then added to my script: use lib ' $ENV{HOME}/lib/perl5/ ' ; Which to most experienced users would be the thing to try in the first place! But, I have only been doing perl for 6 months, and I know how to do some things. However, there is more I don't know!
