Hi Mark, Well I've just run your script, which I changed for version 2.8.11 and it worked fine.
Two observations. 1) The only apparent differences between my script and yours was a) The compile flags b) I use 'svn co' and you use 'svn export' 2) Secondly, when I run wxperl_demo.pl, I still get: 10:53:59: Warning: Skipping module 'Wx::DemoModules::wxHeaderCtrlSimple' 10:53:59: Warning: Base class package "Wx::HeaderCtrlSimple" is empty. Which looks suspiciously related to that missing line in the patch I sent you. Anyway there is nothing urgent here and I shall continue testing. Really I'd like to move to 2.9.2, and upgrade my Kubuntu, so this at least looks like an oportunity to upgrade my wxWidgets version. Thanks for the flags you sent, I shall use that syntax in future. If I encounter any more issues I'll post them.
