thats the most possible untrue sentence. love is most important thing of

The official wx documented containes all you need for wxperl, all 
exception for wxperl are noted on place.
it was always all i needed but i wrote also an good tutorial (in german).

What you also miss is the fact is that Wx is designed for heavy app 
devlopement, with more complex GUI
and more control over it than Tk. Therefore you have to pay some more 
typing taxes so choose wisely for
your purpose. A gui designer can you still leave you most of control 
over GUI if you know the ID or use
XRC.  Wx  is mostly easy because it alswas resambles the same order of 
parameter, most things are easy
that way its only different.

If Tk serves you well, fine keep using it and be happy but bashing wx 
with an uninformed opinion doesnt
makes you look good. the things you wrote are beginner level information 
which almost all people know here,
as far as they were correct. and please keep in mind that tk has in the 
perl arena much more userbase while
wx is still small. and yes wxperl has shortcomming as Perl/Tk has but 
please inform yourself a bit more,
than  it makes sense to talk about. try to make clear for yourself what 
you want to accomplish, than
you can get benefical results for you. just whining about how bad wx is, 
will you give nothing nor helpes us.


god bless
