Yes, read below.

It is implemented. The problem is that I accidentally compiled it out
in the binary release, due to a difference between wx 2.2 and 2.3 .
I will put out a new Perl 5.7.3-compatible wxPerl soon,
I'll correct this too.

wxPerl will remain compatible with 5.6.x though won't it?
Some distributions are very slow in catching up. I had that problem
with Debian. Dependencies wouldn't allow a manual upgrade either.

Sure! The changes involved are just some tweaks to the build system;

The plan is to support Debian "woody" and "recent" ( for some value
of "recent" ) rpm-based distros.
