[wxperl-users] Re: wxPerl CookBook

[Net W. <MN...@Ja...>]

I am willing to write and host the wxPerl Cookbook on my web site as well as
contribute.

Another perhaps better idea (and location) is to contact ASPN and see if
they can create a new cookbook category for wxPerl-- I like this one because
of it's existing presence in the Perl community. Ideas?
