The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: Wx::WidgetMaker
DSLIP: cdpOp
description: CGI.pm-like widget library for wxPerl
userid: SLANNING (Scott Lanning)
chapterid: 8 (User_Interfaces)

NAMESPACE
Initially I thought Wx::CGI, because it provides a CGI.pm-like
interface to wxPerl, but that was considered confusing (people might
think it was a web programming module). I considered Wx::Simple, but
it's not really that simple (c.f. LWP::Simple, XML::Simple).
Considered Wx::Abstract, but it's not abstract (c.f. DBI). Someone
mentioned Wx::Thunk::CGI, but I think "thunk" is a little obscure
and the module name still contains CGI. Someone mentioned
Wx::WidgetMaker; there was an objection that "widget" isn't really a
wxwindows term, but I think it's generic/common enough. "Maker" has
some precedence in other CPAN modules.
UNIQUENESS OF APPROACH
There are currently no wxPerl-related modules other than Wx.pm.
WHY IT SHOULD BE LISTED
Using Wx.pm is somewhat low-level, as it is a thin wrapper for the
C++ library; Wx::WidgetMaker provides a higher level interface. It
also tries to mirror the CGI.pm API, so it should be familiar to CGI
developers.
