Hi,
I am not sure I understand but I would like to :-)
When using wxWidgets I need
1) C++ libraries (wxWidgets)
2) Perl binding (aka wxPerl)
3) my own code.
1) I can get either from my Linux package management system
(aptitude install wx-common in case of Debian)
or by installing Alien::wxWidgets from CPAN
2) I might have it in my Linux distro
(Ubuntu 8.04 does not seem to have it)
or by Installing the Wx distro from CPAN
3) That's really my problem.
Please let me know if the above description is correct.
Yes it is.
It would be nice to also update
http://wxperl.sourceforge.net/about.html
with such information.
To be honest I believe the about page already contains the
information:
"""
wxPerl is a perl module that allows a Perl program to use the wxWidgets
GUI toolkit.
"""
plus the explanation of what wxWidgets is in the same page [1]. Patches
welcome (bonus points for only changing the first section, since the
section below is from the wxWidgets web site).
If the above is true I don't think I would like to include
Alien::wxWidgtes as a
prereq to my module.
So how can I declare in my CPAN module that my code needs wxWidgets
AND that the minimal requirement of wxWdigets is 2.7 ?
I do not think you can express this dependency using the CPAN toolchain.

[1] also there is this text on the main wxPerl page:
wxPerl is an extension module allowing the creation of GUI (Graphical
User Interface) from Perl; it is built as a wrapper for the awesome
wxWidgets C++ GUI toolkit. You can look at some screenshots or read
about wxPerl users. A wxPerl Wiki is also available.
