FastSplash and "WxPerl,beyond Frames and Buttons"

[Steve Cookson]

Hi People,

I was just look for something to replace SplashScreen, which I don't 
really like and it gives me errors when testing with Valgrind (If you 
haven't tried Valgrind, you really should "valgrind perl foobar.pl") and 
I found this:

http://lichtkind.de/vortrag/beyondwxp.pdf

and I thought I would give it a bit of publicity.  Nicely done, Herbert.

It's a good summary of what wxPerl can do.

And it mentioned FastSplash, by Mark D.

So I looked that up on cpan

  sub  BEGIN{
    use  Wx::Perl::SplashFast;
    Wx::Perl::SplashFast->new("./logo.jpg",5000);
  }

Which just hits the spot.  No Valgrind errors now!

Great job Mark and Herbert.

Regards,

Steve.
