To be honest I believe the about page already contains the information: """ wxPerl is a perl module that allows a Perl program to use the wxWidgets GUI toolkit. """ plus the explanation of what wxWidgets is in the same page [1]. Patches welcome (bonus points for only changing the first section, since the section below is from the wxWidgets web site). > If the above is true I don't think I would like to include > Alien::wxWidgtes as a > prereq to my module. > So how can I declare in my CPAN module that my code needs wxWidgets > AND that the minimal requirement of wxWdigets is 2.7 ? I do not think you can express this dependency using the CPAN toolchain. Regards, Mattia [1] also there is this text on the main wxPerl page: wxPerl is an extension module allowing the creation of GUI (Graphical User Interface) from Perl; it is built as a wrapper for the awesome wxWidgets C++ GUI toolkit. You can look at some screenshots or read about wxPerl users. A wxPerl Wiki is also available.Thread Previous
