I have been following wxPerl development for a very very very long time
and you're statement that wxPerl has a history of not living up to it's cross-platform claims, in fact it often won't even compile on common platforms
is a bold faced lie.
The overwhelming majority of complation problems reported with stable releases
have always been due to a lack of RTFM.
