  For installing Perl modules in non-standard paths, please see the
"INSTALL PATHS" section of Module::Build documentation (for
Alien::wxWidgets) and the "make install" section of
ExtUtils::MakeMaker documentation (for wxPerl).

  First you need to install Alien::wxWidgets.

export WX_CONFIG=/path/to/my/wx-config
perl Build.PL
./Build
./Build test
./Build install

then install wxPerl (notice that Alien::wxWidgets must be in Perl INC
search path).

perl Makefile.PL
make all
make test
make install
