Using PPMs on Linux
If you wish to use ActivePerl on Linux the the PPMs provided at this site will give you a binary build of Wx for GUI development. ActivePerl is a good choice on Linux if you intend distributing your Wx applications to other machines perhaps with PAR or PerlApp or to run natively on an install of ActivePerl. It can also be beneficial if you are building an application to deploy on more than one platform to have a reasonable degree of conformity in your Perl and Wx installation across all the platforms you wish to deploy to.
You can check the minimum distribution versions of Linux required for the PPMs at this site at Linux Dependencies.
Follow the instructions here to install Wx using the package manager.
Once installed, you can run the Wx::Demo with
/pathtoyour/ActivePerl-5.10/bin/perl /pathtoyour/ActivePerl-5.10/site/bin/wxperl_demo.pl
