This is very timely for me -- I'm looking into a way of developing an application that will run on both Windows and OS X (and ideally I can develop on Linux), and as part of my search I found Wx. Great, I thought, the "Hello, World!" example works -- what else ya got?
Ah, Wx::Demo. Great. Hmm.
Well, the code's installed, but there's no way to run the demo. Anyway, after a couple of dead ends, I finally figured out
#!/usr/bin/perl
use Wx;
use Wx::Demo;
my $app = Wx::SimpleApp->new;
my $frame = Wx::Demo->new;
$frame->Show;
$app->MainLoop;
was the answer. Not terribly difficult, but I sure wish that code fragment had been added to the README. (Yes, I know I can file a bug on CPAN, and perhaps even make a pull request for the change -- I just figured this out yesterday.)
