Although I feel strategically, a fully functional cpan distribution is important, I also feel that the suggestions you made here are valuable and I'm going to start down this path too. I have wxWidgets installed on Kubuntu 11.4, so I'm going to continue down your installation path. >As an example, you could build 2.9.2 with an install prefix of. > >/var/local/wxtesting-2.9.2/widgets > >and 2.8.12 > >/var/local/wxtesting-2.8.12/widgets > >when building Alien::wxWidgets + Wx > >..alien >export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/var/local/wxtesting-2.9.2/widgets/lib >export PERL5LIB=/var/local/wxtesting-2.9.2/perl/lib >perl Build.PL --prefix=/var/local/wxtesting-2.9.2/perl >perl Build test >perl Build install > >..wx > >perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/var/local/wxtesting-2.9.2/perl >make >make test >make install > >And the same but replacing 2.9.2 with 2.8.12 for your 'stable' widgets build > >..alien >export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/var/local/wxtesting-2.8.12/widgets/lib >export PERL5LIB=/var/local/wxtesting-2.8.12/perl/lib >perl Build.PL --prefix=/var/local/wxtesting-2.8.12/perl >perl Build test >perl Build install > >..wx > >perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/var/local/wxtesting-2.8.12/perl >make >make test >make install Regards Steve
