What OS did you get it to build on with Perl 5.40 (presuming that’s what you 
mean by Perl-40)?  I have 5.38 built but I could easily build 5.40.

Problem I’m running into is an ambiguous overload issue with a WxVariant type 
in the PropertyGrid.c code.  I presume this requires a change to the .XS or 
.XSP file, maybe a compatibility issue with the latest WxWidgets?  I know I saw 
somewhere that wxVariant is deprecated and that you should use wxAny?  Trying 
to link it against the wxGTK3-devel-3.0.4-11 packages in RHEL 8.10.
