Re: [wxperl-users] Alien::wxWidgets 0.19 / Wx 0.54 on opensuse 10.1

Mattia,

wxPerl CVS installs perfectly now.

Alien::wxWidgets makes it easy for a c/c++ / Linux novice like myself to
get a working wxPerl without having to worry about avoiding conflicts
with installed wxGTK rpms etc.

Well done and thank you very much!

Mark
