Error when installing Tk-804.032 on Perl Strawberry 5.20.1.1 (Windows 8 - 64 bits)

Hi,

I tried to install Tk through CPAN on Windows and I got the following:

Any idea if this is a bug or because of my laptop. The installation of Perl is new (no other lib installed, no tweak).

I have made some experiences, and some search.

First I tried to install the dev version, still a error:

It seems that compiling XS on Windows PERL strawberry is a known difficulty: http://www.perlmonks.org/bare/?node_id=578717

Hope it helps, Michaël

Finally I installed it! Not related to Tk but because CPAN was no able to find a compilator. You need Visual Studio (comunity in my case) and add a link to your PATH variable, and it s done, it works :-)

If anyone runs across this, my resolution was slightly different than the above comment. With Strawberry perl, I was getting this error. Whenever I ran where g++.exe, I had a previous g++ from MinGW ahead of Strawberry's in my path. Moving the Strawberry directories in front of MinGW in my path resolved the issue
