[wxperl-users] Docs and examples

[Jouke V. <jo...@co...>]

Hi,

I noticed that in earlier messages of this mailinglist there was talk
about some sample files. It turns out that those are only distributed in
the sourcedistribution. I think it would be a good idea to distribute
those seperately. Many Win32 users will only download the PPM package
and will never find the samples...

Furthermore I've written (or in fact, still editing) a wxPerl
introduction - a first in a series of tutorials for Perl.com. I already
spoke with Simon Cozens - the Senior Editor of Perl.com and he will
publish them. When they are published you can add a link on the wxPerl
homepage if you wish.

One thing I mention in the tutorial is that wxPerl is not available on
CPAN. I would urge you to put your work on CPAN, because it will a)
improve the accessibility of wxPerl since every Perl developer looks
there for new modules and b) it would enlarge the number of people who
have heard of wxPerl.

I know of someone who is busy converting the C samples that are
available with the wxWindows distribution to Perl code. When he's
finished that (or if he won't I will), I'll ask him to send them to you
to include them in the samplebundle.

Cheers!

Jouke
