Hey, if you want wxDDE I'll see if it builds with recent MinGW and add it. As it is a 1980's IPC I never really thought it represented a defect. > The ideal solution is that WxWindows itself supports the necesary > API for doing single instance support "properly" on each platform, > but nobody would add that API to the Perl Wx bindings. Why would no-one add some part of wxWidgets/wxWindows to Wx? I assume what you actually mean is that this should be part of Wx and Wx should evolve into something more than a wrapper for wxWidgets?. Personally I'm of the feeling that I'd only want to commit to maintaining Wx as a wrapper around wxWidgets. I think Wx::SomeOtherDeveloper would be a great idea for bits that someone wants to add in that aren't part of wxWidgets. Then Wx::SomeOtherDeveloper could be just whatever you want it to be. I can't see that creating something that isn't part of wxWidgets would take any extra effort whatsoever to put in Wx::SomeOtherDeveloper and as Wx is a wrapper around wxWidgets something that isn't in wxWidgets would not to me seem automatically best placed in Wx. Importantly too, I don't see that putting something in Wx::SomeOtherDeveloper would add one iota of extra work for the implementer > If we have better control over the evolution of Wx than when I was > working on Padre actively, by far the best solution is to have it > added to Wx.pm and then port to using that instead of my hand-rolled > approach. What sort of control do you envisage? I can't imagine not helping to integrate any contributed code in the appropriate package nor helping with any request on how to integrate something nor handing over release and maintenance of Wx to anyone who wants to do it. I have no interest whatsoever in maintaining Wx with the narrow focus of a Padre sub-project. However, I have no sense of ownership over Wx so if anyone fancies doing something else with it then feel free to offer. Some code would be nice.
