(wxperl-users copied for info, Mark, this is very similar to the problem you helped me with on K10.10 a few months ago where I had to do a full svn and compile).

Ok, so here is my first issue. As yet it's not directly related to wxWidgets, but to wxPerl. In Kubuntu 10.4 I run an install script which downloads the GStreamer and other dependencies using apt-get and then installs Wx::Perl and Wx::Demo from cpan. This gives me wxperl_demo.pl with a working MediaCtrl straight out of the box. I've just run a successful Kubuntu 11.4 install using the same script and I still get wxperl_demo.pl but MediaCtrl errors on line 19 (use Wx::Media). More investigation to be done and I'll keep you informed. Have a good day. Regards Steve.
