wxPerl is a wrapper for the wxWidgets (formerly known as wxWindows) GUI toolkit
Copyright (c) 2000-2010 Mattia Barbon.
This package is free software; you can redistribute it and/or
modify it under the same terms as Perl itself.
You need wxWidgets in order to build wxPerl (see http://www.wxwidgets.org/).
You can use GTK, Win32, Mac OS X and Motif as windowing toolkits for wxPerl.
Please read the DEPRECATIONS section at the bottom!
INSTALLATION:
Build and install wxWidgets, version 2.5.3 or above
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
for more detailed instructions see the docs/install.pod file;
in case of problems please consult the FAQ section therein.

wxPerl has also been reported to work on FreeBSD and IRIX.
DEPRECATIONS
The following features have been deprecated and may disappear in the future
1 - class->new always returning an hash reference
until now calling ->new( ... ) returned an hash reference for most
classes derived from Wx::Window, hence the following code
worked:
my $button = Wx::Button->new( ... );
$button->{attribute} = 'value';
At some point in the future this will be changed so that only
_user-defined_ classes derived from Wx::Window
(or from any class derived from Wx::Window)
will yield an hash reference, hence the following code will not
work anymore:
my $button = Wx::Button->new( ... );
$button->{attribute} = 'value';
while the following code will work as it did before:
package MyButton;
use base qw(Wx::Button);
sub new {
my $class = shift;
my $self = $class->SUPER::new; # always returns hash
$self->{attribure} = 'value;
return $self;
}
2 - Use of $Wx::_foo
wxPerl used to provide some constants named $Wx::_something
(for example, $Wx::_msw, $Wx::_platform, $Wx::_wx_version).
These constants are now deprecated, and will be removed in
some future version; this information is available via
functions in the Wx package (i.e. Wx::wxMSW())
toolkit: wxMSW, wxGTK, wxMOTIF, wxX11, wxMAC, wxUNIVERSAL
misc: wxUNICODE, wxVERSION
