Part 5: Visual Package Manager

Using the 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.

  1. Click the VPM icon on the toolbar to launch the VPM.


  2. View Example

  3. Click the Remove tab. A list of modules will be displayed.
  4. Click All to view a complete list of modules.
  5. Scroll through the list of modules until you see the "Tk" module.


  6. View Example

  7. Close the browser window in which the VPM is displayed.
