Hi, IMHO - General info for Mac OS X install is - don't use system installed Perl. You'll break it or it'll break you :-)
For a quick try out of Padre download binary Citrus Perl http://www.cava.co.uk/citrusdownload/citrusperl-osx-u32-5-12 then something like ./citrusperl-osx-u32-5-12 -d /Users/yourname/Library /Users/yourname/Library/CitrusPerl/u32/5-12/bin/citrusreloc . /Users/yourname/Library/CitrusPerl/bin/citrusenv32 cpan -i Padre should do the trick. If you want to go it alone, instructions for building wxWidgets and Wx in a 32 bit Universal Perl are at http://www.wxperl.co.uk/building/osx.html It's about building PPM's for ActivePerl, but the instructions for building Alien::wxWidgets and Wx are not ActivePerl specific. They are 32 bit Universal specific. (e.g. using a 32 bit Universal Perl on Mac OS X 10.6) Remember to use ExtUtils::FakeConfig + Config_osx I may stand to be corrected, but I think you need wxWidgets 2.9.x branch for a 64bit build on Snow Leopard - but assuming you have built your own 64 bit Perl or used MacPorts etc, this option should build without problems. There may be other routes to success, of course.
