Unable to run Belt, a Mac-like "menubar"

[harii4]

Belt (Freshmeat entry) is a small "menubar" that works as the "belt " normally found in MacOS. It has a lot of configuration options and can use multiple configuration files if you want several belts. It is really intended for the dynamic menusystem we have here at the School of Electrical Engineering at the Royal Institute of Technology and thus want to display icons for all program modules that have registered that they want to have an entry, but I use a static belt.

It is written in Perl/Tk and should run on any standard Perl/Tk installation. It is configured with a simple text file called menu.conf.

perl and Tk are in most of the puppies but i'm unable to get this to work?
it looks simple but i'm no programmer - any help

I replaced

Code: Select all

#!/usr/local/bin/perl

with

Code: Select all

#!/usr/bin/perl

And now i get this?

Code: Select all

# belt --help 
Can't locate Tk.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i486-t2-linux-gnu /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i486-t2-linux-gnu /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /opt/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/i486-t2-linux-gnu /opt/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8 /opt/lib/perl5/vendor_perl .) at /root/my-applications/bin/belt line 30.

use Tk;

TXZ_Pup uses tk-8.5.5-i486
Any clues - what to do ???

I went through that procedure also and went hunting, it appears that perl/tk is needed, which is different to perl and tk.

thank you

Did find the perl/tk - its called tk-804.030
made it an dotpet
but the forum dislikes it - keeps calling it an empty package?

Still - no luck running belt after installing it - more errors.
Need little more skill before i can crack it
i'll give up for now.
