ZooZ required packages ToolBar and CursorControl fail installation

Using the ActivePerl 5.10.0 Perl Package Manager (PPM) I successfully installed ZooZ on my WIN32 machine. I then tried to run it. I got the following error message:

Can't locate Tk/ToolBar.pm in @INC (@INC contains: C:/Perl/site/lib C:/Perl/lib.) at zooz.pl line 11. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at zooz.pl line 11.

So I tried to install Tk/ToolBar, again, using PPM. I was informed that ToolBar requires the CursorControl package. Here it failed. Following is the complete part of the dialog:

Tk-ToolBar marked for install Tk-ToolBar depends on Tk-CursorControl Installing 2 packages ... Downloading Tk-ToolBar-0.09 ... done Downloading Tk-CursorControl-0.4 ... done Unpacking Tk-ToolBar-0.09 ... done Unpacking Tk-CursorControl-0.4 ... done Generating HTML for Tk-ToolBar-0.09 ... done Generating HTML for Tk-CursorControl-0.4 ... done Updating files in site area ... failed Installing 2 packages failed ERROR: File conflict for 'C:/Perl/site/lib/Tk/demos/widtrib/cursor.pl'. The package Tk has already installed a file that package Tk-CursorControl wants to install.

Why isn't the installation of ZooZ checking for the installation of ToolBar and CursorControl? How can I resolve the above conflict? Is there a conflict at all? What is to be done?
