I think you know this already: If you build and install your perl 5.10.0 for example in /opt, then the vanilla Wx module installs from CPAN without problems on Etch (using the option to build wxWidgets in Alien:: WxWidgets). Another nice side effect is, that the wxWidgets libraries are built inside that /opt tree, so there is no interference with existing Debian packages. Repackaging that special wxperl install into a Debian package should be straightforward, if you convert i.e. a (perhaps reduced) install tarball with "alien". Cheers! Jochen
