As you say, there are various choices for Perl on Windows.
To get started, I would stick with ActivePerl purely as you already have it.
Add the repository at:
http://www.wxperl.co.uk/repository
to your PPM.
Install
Alien-wxWidgets
Wx
Wx-Demo
Run Wx-Demo with the command:
wxperl_demo.
Get documentation for wxWidgets 2.8.7 from http://www.wxwidgets.org
Read the useful 'Manual' and 'Tutorial' at the wxperl.sourceforge.net site.
Ask questions here :-)
Regards
Mark

I would like to write Windows XP SP2 GUI applications using WxPerl. I
downloaded and have installed:
ActivePerl-5.8.8.822-MSWin32-x86-280952.msi
Wx-0.26-wxmsw2.6.2-win32-u-5.8.6.zip
wxPerl-0.23-wx-2.6.1-docs-html.zip
When I look at:
http://wxperl.sourceforge.net/
The current version of WxPerl appears to be 0.81. I am running WxPerl
version 0.26, using a wxWidgets 2.6.1 manual from June 2005.
I am aware that there are various Windows binary distributions for Perl.
In addition to ActivePerl, I also have a working Cygwin environment with
Perl. I haven't tried installing Wx under Cygwin.
Am I headed in the right direction?
TIA,
David
