As a workaround you should change in cpp/helpers.h, around line 300

class WXPLDLL wxPliClassInfo:public wxClassInfo
{
public:
    wxPliClassInfo( wxChar *cName, wxChar *baseName1, wxChar *baseName2, 
                    int sz, wxPliGetCallbackObjectFn fn )
        :wxClassInfo( cName, baseName1, baseName2, sz, 0)
        {
            m_func = fn;
            //FIXME//
            m_baseInfo1 = wxClassInfo::FindClass( baseName1 );
// >>>>>>>> HERE, comment out with // the following two lines <<<<<<<
//if( m_baseInfo1 == 0 )
//croak( "ClassInfo initialization failed '%s'", baseName1 );
        }
public:
    wxPliGetCallbackObjectFn m_func;
};

BTW this is a workaround and it is being fixed in wxMac; please note
that if you want to run wxPerl on Mac you should debug problems
yourself ( you can always ask here, but since I don't have a Mac,
nor I ever used one, I can't be of much help )
