In my quest to build a stand-alone perl with wx I got to another issue
I don't understand
showing my total lack of understanding of the build system.


When I am trying to build Alien::wxWidgets and want it to download the
source of wxWidgets
the README.txt tells me the following:

Important: either wx-config must be in the PATH or the WX_CONFIG
environment variable must be set to the full path to wx-config. The
environment WX_CONFIG variable can also be used to specify a different
wx-config.


So where is wx-config coming from? It is needed when I run perl Build
but that is before it builds wxWidgets so unless I already have a wxWidgets
on the system that installed the wx-config where does it come from?
If I let it use the wx-config of the system, then how will it be
related to the one
I am just about to build?
