[wxperl-users] Re: Re to Mattia: Fast Splash

[Graciliano M. P. \(V. Sites\) <gm...@vi...>]

Mattia,

  I understand the idea to make wxPerl just with things of wxWindows, and
I'm making a lot of other foo things, that I don't want to introduce in
wxPerl to not break the wxWindows style. But with wxWindows we don't have
the problem of the dalay time to show a Splash, and if the Splash is slow to
start, it's not very useful. :-/

  I can't obligate you to introduce the SplashFast.pm, but just think about
the use of the Splash without it!
