I have the same problem. perl/tk module was bundled in ActivePerl 5.8... but isn't included in 5.10.0.
Participants in another thread here recommend using PPM to grab the module (http://community.activestate.com/forum-topic/perl-tk-v5-10-0).
However, I am needing another approach because the computer that I have that needs it cannot be connected to a network.... thus I need to download it from somewhere.

I then discovered the file Tk.ppm and figured the directions might have been a typo, and so I used:
ppm install c:\tmp\Tk.ppm
What version of Perl are you using ?

You also can install packages from zip files.
see:
Using PPM documentation, under ActivePerl Components in the ActivePerl documentation that comes with ActivePerl 5.10.x
The website to download the zipped Archives can be reached using the following URL:

MarcZ,
Thank you very much for the lead. I hope it ends in resolution.

And it works!
Ha!
