Your Perl must be compatible with the build environment for these modules so you will avoid problems if you use the 32 bit binary distributions of Perl from ActiveState.

Minumum ActiveState builds supported are:

Perl 5.10 :  ActiveState build 1002
Perl 5.8   :  ActiveState build 822 (Microsoft Windows only)

On Microsoft Windows, you may also have success with Strawberry Perl.
As Strawberry Perl uses a command line PPM tool, there are specific instructions for Strawberry Perl here.

Once you have a suitable version of Perl installed, use the Perl Package Manager to install PPMs from this site. From the application menu under Edit -> Preferences, add a new repository using the URL

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

If you have a recent ActivePerl installation on Windows, this repository will already be available in the dropdown list of repositories.

Choose to install Wx, Wx::Demo, Wx::TreeListCtrl and Wx::GLCanvas to start. You can then run the Wx::Demo to see examples of many of the GUI controls that wxPerl provides.

For older Linux distributions compatible with RHEL4 (glibc 2.3.4 and gtk 2.4) a sub repository with suitable RPMs is provided at

http://www.wxperl.co.uk/repository/rhel4

There are platform specific instructions on running wxPerl scripts and the wxPerl Demo on the platform specific pages -  Platforms.
