Good morning all, Erik's suggestion to make "Learning WxPerl" a community effort is exactly what I had in mind, and I think also it would have a much greater chance of being successful. Michael, I really look forward to you posting your early material for a book. Thank you for offering it to the

I have ActivateState Perl 5.20.1 installed with wxPerl 0.9926 on my Mac (El Capitan). I had to install wxWidgets separately using Alien::wxWidgets, then build wxPerl manually. Not sure why ActiveState does not have a PPM for it; I can only assume they did not look into it after the initial build

Erik, thank you for the pointer. I posted the issue at ActiveState's PPM forum (see https://community.activestate.com/node/18630). I don't know much about that forum but if it is like ActiveState's Komodo forum, I would expect a response pretty quickly. I also need to understand why they are not

Hi Michael, Really good to hear that you have previous experience with authoring a book. I think to some extent it'll be up to the wxperl community if they think writing a "Learning WxPerl" book is worth the effort. Personally I feel its a good idea and a good way to promote wxperl. Perhaps once
