You need a version of Tk-TableMatrix 1.23 that is compiled against Tk 804.x.

When the Tk shipped with ActivePerl was updated to 804.x in the middle of the 5.8.x series, it was recognized that modules which depended on Tk would need to be recompiled. Doing so would, however, makes those modules incompatible with older releases still using Tk 802.x. Since PPM only supports one version of any given module revision per repository, all those older 5.8.x releases would have lost their PPM sources.

Improvements to the functionality of PPM are envisioned which will allow dependency based selection of module versions. For now, the workaround has been to distribute different versions of these modules with compatibility issues from different PPM repositories, some of which are not maintained by ActiveState.

Modules with dependencies on Tk802.x will continue to be available at ActiveState. Modules with dependencies on Tk804.x are available from Randy Kobes' University of Winnipeg PPM repositories:

The best version of ActivePerl to use on Windows Vista is always the most recent build of ActivePerl 5.8.8 or 5.10.0.

ActivePerl 5.8.8.819 and later versions pass the same suite of tests on Windows Vista as they do on Windows XP and other supported versions of Windows.

ActivePerl's known issues on Windows Vista include:

• PerlIS and PerlEx are installed but not automatically configured due to differences in the script extension mapping process for IIS
• the OLE browser will not function with Internet Explorer 7

If you run into other issues, please report them at:

The best version of ActivePython to use with Windows Vista is ActivePython 2.5.0.0.

ActivePython versions 2.4.3.12 and above pass all of the same tests on Vista that they do on Windows XP and other supported versions of Windows.

Note that you will need to right-click on the installation file and select "Run as Administrator" for the installation to be successful. This issue will be resolved in a future version of ActivePython.

The best version of Tcl to use with Windows Vista is ActiveTcl 8.4.14 or later.

There are currently minor issues with installing and uninstalling, but these are not serious and are being worked on. The demo applications distributed with ActiveTcl all function as expected, including the graphical libraries and Expect.

Note that you will need to right-click the installation file and select "Run as Administrator" for the installation to be successful. This will be fixed in a future release of ActiveTcl.
