On Perl 5.10.1 Wx-0.97 installs fine.
On Perl 5.8.8 Wx-0.97 fails with;

I'm pretty sure your ExtUtils::ParseXS is too old. Wx requires a minimum 
version of ExtUtils::XSpp which in turn requires a minimum version of 
EU::ParseXS. You might have  missed one of the warnings from 
Makefile.PL/Build.PL.

Best regards,
