Hi Slaven,
This worked! Everything seemed to make, make test, and make install just fine. I used perl 5.20.1 and 5.18.2. Both worked fine.
I use perl-tk with a Molecular Biology program called, “PerlPrimer” which I have used on Mac OS X and Linux for many years, and when it works, it’s great, but now I just need to figure out why I am getting these errors when trying to run PerlPrimer.pl. I hate to ask, but do you happen to know where I might find answers to where these errors are coming from?
jmea-mac-w7:~/sourceFiles/Perl/perl-tk-master jimmeador$ perlprimer.pl
"my" variable $k masks earlier declaration in same statement at /usr/local/bin/perlprimer.pl line 3114.

I suspect that the author has just made a few mistakes in coding which I or someone will need to fix. I have fixed a few easy ones, but I do not know enough perl to immediately know what is going wrong here. I wish to learn more about perl so I guess this can be a good place to start. The funny thing is, that it is still running fine on a similarly set up macbook pro using the same version of mac os x and perl. I will email the author, but he has made the program in such a way that it breaks quite often when EMBL changes the formatting of their nucleotide sequence files and so the author is not as responsive as he once was. Can’t really blame him, and that is why I greatly appreciate your rapid response with a fix.
Thank you very kindly for helping me to fix the compile issues with perl-Tk. It is a great package and I hope to use it more in the near future. Just not much time to “play”.
best wishes,
Jim
