Re: [wxperl-users] Install Help Please

[Sean A. <phi...@gm...>]

I downloaded "http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/wxperl/Wx-0.26-wxmsw2.6.2-win32-5.8.6.zip"
from wxperl.sourceforge.net.  There is no
wxPerl-0.26-wx-2.62-win32-5.8.6.tar.gz.  I get a readme file,
Wx-026.ppd and a blib directory.

Thanks:)
