Part 5: Visual Package Manager
The Professional edition of Komodo includes the
Visual Package Manager (VPM),
a graphical interface for the Perl Package Manager (PPM) that comes with ActiveState's
ActivePerl
distribution. The VPM is used to manage the Perl modules in your ActivePerl installation.
In this example, you will use the VPM to ensure that you have a specific module
required by the GUI Builder.
Note: The VPM requires ActivePerl version 633 or later
(which includes PPM version 3). For more information about PPM, see the PPM
documentation included with your ActivePerl installation or on
the
ASPN Web site.
The GUI Builder, which will be introduced in the next part of the tour, does
not work unless the "Tk" module is installed.
- Click the VPM icon on the toolbar to launch the VPM.

the "Tk" module.

Example
