dear colleagues, even with some days delay, I prepare the WxPerlBook and some of you offered graciously help, which will be needed. however I need also volunteers that use win 7 & 8 and can run the code samples. also a kde based linux or something else thats not gtk would be very helpful. some examples are already in the hg: http://bitbucket.org/lichtkind/wxperlbook/src/ed31ed276b5a9716dd9d92e18f0947793299f1a9/example?at=default thanks a lot for your cheers it might take a while but I'm commitedThread Next
