Thanks to Mike and Huub for their quick and accurate responses.
The key is that you have to use "wxperl" (shipped with OS X)
instead of "perl" as your iinterpreter: something not mentioned in
any example or other piece of documentation that I could find.
I have no idea where the Mac OS X demo copy fits into the Grand
Scheme of things but it looks very bad compared to the wxPython
example that's (literally) in the next directory over. That demo
has a "README.TXT" file that says "Don't use 'python' to run these
things: use 'wxPython'." When you do that you get an error
message that says, in plain English, "You're on a Mac: use this
other command instead."
Something like this?
madhatter:~/devel/wxPerl/wxDemo mbarbon$ perl -Ilib bin/wxperl_demo.pl
On Mac OS X please run the demo with 'wxPerl wxperl_demo.pl'
madhatter:~/devel/wxPerl/wxDemo mbarbon$
That would be great!
The inclusion of a README.TXT file with the one equivalent line in
it for wxPerl would raise the number of people willing to
investigate it as a
Does this (in README.txt) help?
To install:
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
then run 'wxperl_demo.pl'; under Mac OS X you will need to run
'wxPerl -S wxperl_demo.pl'.
This too would be great! It seems, however, that wxPerl (and a copy
in all-lowercase wxperl !?) come pre-installed on OS X developer
disks so you might want to mention that in this new README.txt file
as well.
viable technology ("technology" = something you don't have to
understand to use, "art" = something you have to understand fully
to use) by many orders of magnitude.
I tend to disagree with the definitions above, but the suggestions
are unarguably good.
Things are about the same for the level of commenting in the
source code and provide the (given people's time constraints)
insurmountable barriers to adoption. The Python stuff is
massively and beautifully commented whereas there are almost no
comments in the Perl stuff.
Patches are always welcome :-)
I'll add it to my ever-growing pile of stuff that I really should add
to CPAN someday.... ;-)
Thanks for the feedback

Why is it called "Cargo" if it goes by ship and a "Shipment" if it is
sent by car?
