Announcing wxPerl 3.006

Dear all, wxPerl version 3.006 has been released and is available on GitHub. Major change in 3.006 is a vast overhaul to eliminate depending on wxWidgets 2.8 and 3.0 compatibility hacks. The code is much cleaner now, and builds without problems with 3.2, 3.3.0 and 3.3.1 (at this time latest wxWid

Doubleclick and @ARGV

A question for Windows experts. I have installed a wxPerl application and associated it with files with extension '.cho'. When I doubleclick in the Explorer on such a file, my program is started and gets the name of the file passed via @ARGV. Well, more or less... I have a folder (on an NTFS fil
