I just tried opening up a cpan shell and tried to install curses and tk straight from there using this syntax
[code:1] perl -MCPAN -e 'shell'
install tk
install curses
[/code:1]
which worked to no avail, and I decided to dig through the cpan repository and I couldnt find a plain tk file.. it was filled with what looked like scripts that used the tk module itself or I just overlooked it.
Chris,
I'm using slackware and I don't remember adding support for RPM's(I usually install stuff from source anyways) when I installed it, but I'll look for a binary on that site if they have it. Thanks for the tips, Ill get back to you if it doesn't work.. trust me
