    I would do this as root:

    type perl -MCPAN -e shell
    go through the configuration if it prompts you. then type install Tk

    Hope this helps,

      The machine I had Linux do not have internet connection. I tried as you said to install Tk. But it looks for a tar or gzip file. I think first I have to download the gzip or tar file then I have to take that to Linux machine. Just can you give me a link for gzip file. So that I can copy to a diskette and I will use it on Linux machine. <code> Thanks Ashok <code>
        If you search CPAN it's all right there. Click on the link, type in "Tk" in the search and hit enter. One of the top links is the Tk bundle.

    Try here. Click on the download link the approximately correct thing will happen.

    Just to be safe, you do know you will need the tcl/tk libs, right? The link I gave you assumes you have the v8 libraries.
