The source can be found at http://www.perl.com/CPAN-local/.  Go there,
then click on "modules", and then you can go to the user interface section or 
the
by-name area.  It goes by several different names: pTk, TkPerl, and, most 
commonly,
Perl/Tk.  So you may need to look under each of those possibilities.

Once you've downloaded the source, untar and type:

perl Makefile.PL
make

Then su to root and run:

make install

This ought to install it.  If you have an existing RPM of Perl/Tk installed, 
remove it before
you do this, though.  You will need to have the X development libraries 
installed
if they aren't already.

Can you post some sample code that causes this error, and the particular error
message that you're getting?
