I think Tk still has a few problems in a 64-bit perl,
but I don't have a 64-bit machine myself so this is based
on HPUX reports - last I heard I think issues were resolved.

The new kind. (i.e. -lpthread and one perl interpreter/thread).
(perl5005 threads are only included for the few
plaforms/apps where they sort of worked).
perl/Tk is still not threadsafe. But will run happily in a threaded
perl which only has the main thread.

Nick - I am having trouble getting Tk to compile with 64-bit perl on HP-UX. I
posted a few w s ago and got very little response:
news:<slrncjskro.si6.spamtotrash@doom.unix-guy.com>
Any ideas? I'm happy to help work through this if you'd like..
