[wxperl-users] porting a perl/tk application to perl/wx

[Bob H. <cat...@ya...>]

Hello,

I am not subscribed, so, please, Cc the answers to my
address.

I want to port an application from perl/tk to perl/wx,
under osx, but I am having difficulties in getting
started. My environment is:

- latest osx, 
- latest apple development tools,
- latest perl
- wxWidgets 2.6.something, via above dev tool,
- wxWidgets 2.8.1, installed via
   .. Alien-wxWidgets-0.27_51.tar.gz
- wxPerl 0.26 (perl binary to focus on windows)

It runs Apple's demos.

Now, there is a nice tutorial at IBM's site
http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-wxwidgets/index.h
when I try to use the included perl script, PERL says:

>Base class package "Wx::Frame" is empty.

if I perldoc Wx::Frame, it says 

>No documentation found for "Wx::Frame".

if I search CPAN for Wx::Frame, it says

http://search.cpan.org/search?query=Wx%3A%3AFrame&mode=all

where the only relevant module is "dotReader", not
mentioned in the original article at IBM. 

Now, I have been looking around for a cut through
introduction on how to port from perl/Tk, but had no
luck so far, and the available demos are everything
but elegant, by comparison with perl/tk. What I am
looking for is to avoid using an Interface Builder;
for this to be possible, I need the code to be as
minimal as in perl/Tk. Do you have any link to
up-to-date tutorials that would do in my case?

Thank you.
Bob
