Installing activeperl 5.8 on AIX 5.1

[kenneth kahn]

I've installed ActivePerl on my AIX 5.1 system using the following install file

ActivePerl-5.8.7.813-aix-5.1-cc-151115.tar.gz

By install, all I did was to gunzip/tar the file. Everything seems to have installed
OK; I ended up with the following directories

/ActivePerl-5.8.7.813-aix-5.1-cc-151115/perl/bin
/ActivePerl-5.8.7.813-aix-5.1-cc-151115/perl/lib

If I change to the bin directory I can issue

$> ./perl -v
This is perl, v5.8.7 built for aix-thread-multi

If I create a file named test.pl

use strict;
use Tk;
my $window = MainWindow->new;
$window->Label("-text" => "Hello World")->pack();
MainLoop

Issuing "./perl ./test.pl" results in

Can't locate strict.pm in @INC (@INC contains:
/tmp/perl-----please-run-the-install-script------------/lib/5.8.7/aix-thread-multi
/tmp/perl-----please-run-the-install-script------------/lib/5.8.7
/tmp/perl-----please-run-the-install-script------------/lib/site_perl/5.8.7/aix-thread-multi
/tmp/perl-----please-run-the-install-script------------/lib/site_perl/5.8.7
/tmp/perl-----please-run-the-install-script--/lib/site_perl .) at ./test.pl line 2.

1) Do I have to do something to install other than just unpack the files as I've done?
There is no /tmp/perl or an install script I can find.

2) Am I correct that ActivePerl already contains Tk so I don't have to separately install it?

I don't have AIX so can't help you except to point out that this
newsgroup is defunct. Try comp.lang.perl. misc for general Perl
questions, comp.lang.perl. modules for problems with Perl modules in
general, and comp.lang.perl. tk for problems with the Tk module
specifically.
