copy only the pm file?

[dominant]

Can i say that is an installation



For example, i didn;t have the Tk::Columns so i download the pm
file(source) and copied into the per/site/lib/tk



After that i could see the documentation



perldoc Tk::Columns





Will this work or is just an unfinished installation?

I'm not going to look at Tk:Columns for you.

If you look at a module distribution and it is pure Perl (no bits in
C or other languages) then you can, in general copy just the .pm
files. Actually this may not be true for modules that use AutoLoader.

Why don't you just install it as per the instructions?

The instructions are usually in the README.

For ~99% modules they are always the same anyhow, and can be found in
the Perl FAQ: "How do I install a module..."

As you can see in [url]http://search.cpan.org/author/DKWILSON/Tk-DKW-[/url]
0.03/Tk/Columns.pm it is pure perl. Would it be good just coping where
the other Tk::* are?
