[lug] Perl Question: finding Tk in FC7? it ran OK in earlier FCs

[Matthew Beldyk]

I seem to recall that the last time did an install on my machine, I had to
hand compile/install the perl/tk module (it didn't come with any of the
tcl/tk modules that I installed).

It's been a while, but I remember it being fairly painless; ie a ` perl
Makefile.pl; make; make test; sudo make install`

The module should be available at http://www.perltk.org/
