Hi,
Wx 0.96 passes all tests - so not fault of Ubuntu folks.
The change was introduced in version 0.95, as I recall, in response to a
user issue with PAR::Packer.
I'm not sure if one could write a test that would tell you if
Wx::HtmlWindow is rendering as expected.
A pity that this ended up in Ubuntu LTS 10.4. It will probably trip up
the Padre folks too as they use STC.
The solution previously posted could perhaps be used in code that might
be distributed elsewhere - though thinking about it, PAR, PerlApp etc
would not work - but that probably does not matter.
You could just patch Wx.pm itself if you only need a solution for one
particular 'machine'
The subroutine
sub load_dll {
return if $^O ne 'MSWin32';
goto &$load_fun;
}
needs to be
sub load_dll {
return if $^O =~ /^darwin/i;
goto &$load_fun;
}
and finally - as Alien::wxWidgets is already installed,
cpan Wx
would get the latest version.
I'm certain this is obvious to you, but thought it would be useful to
have in the thread with this heading.

Perhaps the following will work by just calling Wx::_load_dll directly.
use Wx;
if(($Wx::VERSION =~ /^(0\.95|0\.96)$/)&& (not exists($ENV{PAR_0}))) {
no warnings;
*Wx::load_dll = sub {
use warnings;
return if $^O =~ /^darwin/i;
Wx::_load_dll( @_ );
};
}
Yes this seems to work!
Final question: who's to blame? Did Ubuntu just package the wrong
version of wxPerl?
