I do know "C". I learned it way back in the eighties, and I'm still actively using it. Regardless of wxPerl specifically - whenever there is C/C++ stuff bindings with Perl if only C/C++ stuff documentation exists, it doesn't help much - because too much non-trivial mapping from C/C++ to Perl is involved.
