Installing Tk

I have for the last day or so
been trying to install tkPerl.
I have been using:

$perl -MCPAN -e shell

and then

> install Tk

all seems to go well, but the tests
fail on listbox.t, and subsequently
there is a failure to install. I tried
removing that test file (listbox.t)
from the test scenario, but that didn't
work.

Any thoughts/suggestions?

Thanks in advance

You could optionally do it manually by running:
perl Makefile.PL
make test
make install

Before 'make install' you could maybe try to work out what's wrong with
listbox.t. To run listbox.t individually, just enter:
perl -Mblib t/listbox.t
(And, of course, just run the same command to see the results of any
alterations you might make to listbox.t in your attempts to get the problem
sorted.)

I never use the CPAN shell - so I don't know a lot about it, but I believe
there's a 'force' option that will install the module even if there are test
failures.
