Hi,

It has been noted on a couple of other threads but I though it worth posting again. There are problems with the plain wxWidgets 2.9.4 release and wxPerl. The Plugin handling in wxWidgets 2.9.4 is broken. It is fixed in wxWidgets trunk (2.9.5 to be). wxPerl uses the wxWidgets plugin features.

The current Alien::wxWidgets 0.62 contains the back-ported patch to fix 2.9.4. Therefore if you build wxWidgets using Alien::wxWidgets all works OK.

However, if you build wxWidgets 2.9.4 yourself or use some other pre-built binaries (MacPorts etc) then your wxPerl build will fail. If you wish to build wxWidgets yourself, apply wxWidgets-2.9.4-plugin.patch from the Alien::wxWidgets 0.62 source.

Regards

Mark
