[wxperl-users] WxPerl installation

[Tim F. <tim...@ya...>]

Hi - I've been having an extremely difficult time installing WxPerl on
my debian stable (sarge).  There are no instructions on how to do that
nor are there any recent .deb files (do please consider adding them to
the sf.net repository).  I even tried to get the files directly from
CPAN and that too died due to some dependency issues (directly from CPAN).
Note that the CPAN page,

  http://search.cpan.org/~mbarbon/Wx-0.57/Wx.pm

states that one should 'Please see docs/install.txt in source package'
which is not intuitive since there are no directions of what package
that is included in - you might be better served in posting the
instructions and/or creating a Wiki page and pointing to it.  Also note
that the link above notes version 0.57 while your homepage website
notes latest release being 0.50 - so I'm not sure what is what.

Do also try to include some assistance on your docs page,

  http://wxperl.sourceforge.net/documentation.html

Do please note that a number of people I've talked to (some that have
been using linux for 8-10 years) admited to having alot of difficulties
installing and getting this to work properly.  Python seems to have done
a better job in packaging and thus you see more people using WxPython yet
I loath Python and would really like to see more people using WxPerl.

Do please consider this seriously.

Regards & Thanks,

 .tf.
