I wanted to build an awesome place for people to discuss module specific issues, but I don't have any more time for this, and there are much better places to discuss Perl-related issues. I'd recommend asking your question on Stack Overflow or on Perl Monks.
If you are looking for a Perl tutorial or Perl-related news, I hope these links will serve you well.

Cannot install Tk on RH Ent 4 for EM64 ...
Sports Fans!

Below is the line where my installation consistently fails whether I use cpan or perform a manual installation. Any ideas?

Re: Cannot install Tk on RH Ent 4 for EM64 ...

Sports Fans,

Forgive me for talking to myself, but I thought this additional information might help.

After failing to install Perl/Tk on my Ent 4 machine, I had a request to install it on a 64 bit RH Ent 3 machine (Linux 2.4). So, I attempted a Perl/Tk installation using cpan, but Tk will not install on it either!? It runs into the same type of problem I saw on my Ent 4 machine:
