I have not been able to install the latest Wx from CPAN on a Kubuntu install. Alien-wxWidgets-0.33 required to set CC and CXX to the gcc path. WxWidget 2.8.4.0 is installed as an Ubuntu package. <http://2.8.4.0/>
I think the problem is that you have set CXX to point to gcc instead of g++. Most of the time this is not a problem because gcc tries to autodetect the language from file extension, but wxPerl uses .c for all files and relies on the compiler to be g++.
Any suggestion?

I think the problem is the compiler is trying to compile the sources as they were C and choking on C++ constructs.
CXX=/usr/bin/gcc
I think changing that to /usr/bin/g++ should fix the problem. Mattia
