   I think that once it is in Debian it will likely go inside
Ubuntu (maybe just in the universe/multiverse repository).

   Fedora has wxPerl since at least FC8, OS X 10.4 has wxPerl 0.22, 10.5 
has a more recent version (0.6x for some x, IIRC).  I think wxPerl was
also available in Mandrake/Mandriva and Suse at some point, but I have
no idea if it is still included.
