  it turns out it was my error in not checking the return
value for a wxWidgets initialization function. Now:

mbarbon@cheshirecat:~/devel/wxPerl/wxPerl$ perl -Mblib -MWx -e 42
Error: Unable to initialize gtk, is DISPLAY set properly?
mbarbon@cheshirecat:~/devel/wxPerl/wxPerl$

  Make test output is still a bit noisy, but at least now it
includes the error message above.

Thanks!
