You're right -- I had Wx 0.26 from my initial install (I'm a newbie with ActiveState's PPM, and wasn't aware of the different views available). I right-clicked on Wx, and saw that version 0.82 was available: Wx marked for install Installing package ...

Nice demo system! Poking around, I clicked on Windows -> wxHtmlWindow -> Printer Setup and it crashed: Can't locate object method "PrinterSetup" via package "Wx::HtmlEasyPrinting" at C:/Perl/site/lib/Wx/DemoModules/wxHtmlWindow.pm line 82. So, I guess I now have a (mostly?) working WxPerl installation. My next step will be to try the tutorials. If anyone sees any problems in the above that I should fix now, please let me know. Thank you for the help, Mark! :-) David
