Wx PPM Repositories for Perl 5.8 and 5.10

wxperl.co.uk provides repositories for Wx and associated modules for MSWin32. The main repository contains Unicode modules for Win 2000/XP/Vista which are also compatible with the MSLU for Win 95/98/Me environments. You will need to get unicows.dll from MS separately for deployment to Win 95/98/Me. You don't need this for Win NT/2000/XP and up.

An alternative for Win 95/98/Me environments is to use an ANSI build of wxWidgets from the ANSI repository

PPMs are provided for Perl 5.8 and Perl 5.10

If you have any questions about the repositories or modules, contact cavasupport@googlemail.com

The default repository is available at:

http://www.wxperl.co.uk/repository

an ANSI build is available at 

http://www.wxperl.co.uk/repository/ansi

To use the repository, you should add it to your PPM repository list. For PPM4 (ActivePerl 820+) this is most easily done via the GUI using the menu option Edit -> Preferences.

For command line PPM3, start ppm by typing ppm3 at the command line. You can then do:

rep add wxperl http://www.wxperl.co.uk/repository

for older versions of ppm, you can add repositories with the set and set save commands.

set repository wxperl http://www.wxperl.co.uk/repository
set save

To develop using these PPMs, you'll need the relevant documentation. The official documentation page is at:

http://wxperl.sourceforge.net/documentation/

For convenience you can also download a MS HTML help file here:

MS HTML Help - wxWidgets 2.8.7

wxPerl is the Perl wrapper for the wxWidgets GUI toolkit by Mattia Barbon. 

The wxPerl home page is at http://wxperl.sourceforge.net

The wxWidgets home page is at http://www.wxWidgets.org

wxPerl compiles on Windows using CPAN and a standard C compiler. If you don't wish to or can't compile wxPerl yourself, you can get compiled PPMs for Windows from these repositories.
