Well, I would and I'd glady help wxPerl development in general. The
small problem is that I don't know C++, just some basic C. I can
usually figure out how to translate the wx C++ examples to Perl though.

If you have the time to give me an example with something simple I'll
have a go (I'm guessing Scintilla is a bigger job?).

What tools do you need?
I don't have MSVC*, but wxPerl uses Mingw (which I have installed),
right?

In the mean time I'll look at doing something about that wxPerl
Cookbook I suggested.

There is a _minimal_ wrapping in the current CVS snapshot; you ( or
whoever wants to contribute ) should complete
ext/stc/XS/StyledTextControl.xs and
ext/stc/cpp/st_constants.cpp
( the C++ class is in wxWIndows/contrib/include/wx/stc/stc.h )

I'll update build instructions ASAP ( they are not up to date
for 2.3.3 ). It is a good idea to use wxWindows CVS
( http://www.wxwindows.org/ -> community -> Daily snapshots of CVS 
  if you don't want to use CVS ).

I need wx compiled with Mingw and my Perl also built with Mingw. Is
that correct?

Then it's learn how to use XS?

What do you suggest as a learning example?
I guess something that exists or something smallish.
How about wxShellExecute?

That would be good.
