Ok, sounds good at least in theory. I'm runing Active State Perl 5.8.6 and
said install tkx in ppm. It installed some packages but when I try to run
the Hello World example shown in the synopsis, it says the following:
Could not access registry "HKLM\Software\ActiveState\ActiveTcl"
Could not access registry "HKCU\Software\ActiveState\ActiveTcl"
Failed to load Tcl dll! at C:/Perl/lib/DynaLoader.pm line 253.
Unable to initialize Tcl at C:/Perl/lib/DynaLoader.pm line 253.
<snip>
The message seems clear to me, some registry keys and the necessary dlls
aren't there. I thought ppm would have taken care of that in one way or
another. But then again if it's only a very thin rapper, I reckon it's
reasonable to assume that Active State TCL needs to be installed.
So my next question is, what components of TCL must I install to be able to
use the tkx wrapper from Perl effectively? Frankly speaking, I don't
currently have any interest in TCL apart from using the TK toolkit from
Perl, so I'd like to do a minimal install.
Lastly, are there any gochas in converting perl files using tkx to
executable form? I presume I must also include some bits of Active TCL and
possibly compile them to exes, too?
PS: I'll report on the TKX accessibility using Supernova in this thread, as
soon as I've gotten the thing running in the first place.
