Welcome to the Cross Platform Oasis

A single codebase running across MSWin, Linux and Mac OSX. The wxWidgets C++ library provides a cross-platform toolkit for GUI development. Unlike other cross-platform toolkits, wxWidgets gives its applications a truly native look and feel because it uses the platform's native API rather than emulating the GUI. It's also extensive, free, open source and mature.

wxPerl provides the Perl Language binding to the wxWidgets toolkit giving you the opportunity to develop GUI applications backed by Perl's vast library of ready built tools on the CPAN.

wxPerl is developed and maintained by Mattia Barbon and has its home site at http://wxperl.sourceforge.net

Here at this site we provide binary builds of the wxPerl modules and wxWidgets compatible with ActiveState's Perl distributions for Microsoft Windows, Linux and Mac OSX.  The binaries in each release are, as far as is possible, compiled with identical options across all three supported platforms. Combined with the cross platform commonality of ActivePerl, this provides an excellent framework for cross platform GUI development in Perl.

The Wx modules will, of course, compile on your machine direct from CPAN. The goal of this site is to produce deployable binaries with common and predictable dependencies making it easier to deploy applications created with Perl.

Everyone likes screenshots, so there are three here - screenshots.
