You're welcome, here's a few more details for you :)

I went to testers.cpan.org and the only thing I found on Wx was that 
someone had successfully compiled 0.08, so I did the following: I 
re-compiled wxGTK without threads (ass suggested by the tester) and then 
did 'perl Makefile.PL, make, make test' with wxPerl 0.08. I get the same 
errors as before. The make portion goes OK, but 'make test' generated 
the "test program seems to have generated a core after all subtests 
completed successfully' for all five (four in 0.08) tests. If I go ahead 
and do 'make install', any PERL programs I write with 'use Wx' crash on 
exit.

The only thing that has changed is that the sample program "controls.pl" 
which used to segfault as soon as it was run now segfaults when I close 
the window, just like the other programs.

Does this sound like a problem with my wxGTK installation or something 
with wxPerl? I really like the looks of wxPerl and I want to use it, but 
I need to solve this problem first.

I've now tried wxGTK-2.2.9 with and without threads and wxPerl-0.10 and 
-0.08. I have done all the install combinations several times. I tried 
both make and gmake just for the hell of it, but it made no difference.

Thanks,
Shannon
