Perl/Tk on OS X?

External Since: Jul 04, 2006 Posts: 5

I installed Perl/Tk on two OS X boxes, but
make test
failed in both cases. Is Perl/Tk supported on OS X? Are
there some hoops I need to jump through to get it to
install properly?

What other alternatives are there for a gui for perl
on OS X? Has anyone had good success with wxWidgets?

Perl is already included as part of the MacOS distribution. On OS
10.3.9 Perl 5.8.1-RC3 is installed. On OS 10.4.7 I see Perl 5.8.6
installed.

For Tk take a look at the Fink system to simplify your install.
