Briefly, installation goes like this:
tar -zxvpf stable.tar.gz
cd perl-5.8.2
sh Configure -des -Dprefix=/usr/local
make

Get it from:
http://search.cpan.org/~ni-s/Tk-804.027/
Briefly, installation goes like this:
tar -zxvpf Tk804.027.tar.gz
cd Tk804.027

At this point, edit tkjuke.config and make entries for your jukeboxes
using the example entries as a guide - tkjuke will auto-connect to the
listed machines. If you have not setup either host-based or key
authentication the you'll need to enter the root passwords in the
window from which tkjuke was started.

The program "wait-tape-ready" defines a system command that ensures media is
ready after it has been loaded into a DTE. The basic idea is to
status the drive until it is ready.
IFF you experience tape-not-ready errors, or long delays after a
"juke load" or "juke next" command, you must inspect this code
and make appropriate changes. The code comments in "wait-tape-ready"
tell you what to do. Please, send any changes to sol0@lehigh.edu.

OK, juke/tkjuke installation and configuration is complete. Have the
appropriate amount of fun.
