NAME

       Wx - interface to the wxWidgets cross-platform GUI toolkit

SYNOPSIS

	   use Wx;

	   my $app = Wx::SimpleApp->new;
	   my $frame = Wx::Frame->new( undef, -1, 'Hello, world!' );

	   $frame->Show;
	   $app->MainLoop;

DESCRIPTION

       The Wx module is a wrapper for the wxWidgets (formerly known as wxWindows) GUI toolkit.

       This module comes with extensive documentation in HTML format; you can download it from http://wxperl.sourceforge.net/

INSTALLATION

       Please see docs/INSTALL.pod in source package.

Windows XP look
       For standalone (packed using PAR, Perl2Exe, Perl2App, ...)  applications to get Windows XP look, a file named "App.exe.manifest" (assuming
       the program is named "App.exe") and containing the text below must be placed in the same directory as the executable file.

	 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
	 <assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0">
	     <assemblyIdentity
		 processorArchitecture="x86"
		 version="5.1.0.0"
		 type="win32"
		 name="Controls"
	     />
	     <description>Super wxPerl Application</description>
	     <dependency>
		 <dependentAssembly>
		     <assemblyIdentity
			 type="win32"
			 name="Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls"
			 version="6.0.0.0"
			 publicKeyToken="6595b64144ccf1df"

	 </assembly>

Running on Mac OSX
       From version 0.98 wxPerl no longer needs to use the special startup executable 'wxperl' to run scripts on the Mac. The ordinary perl
       interpreter now works without problems. This is because wxPerl now contains code that brings the running application to the front and gives
       it the focus.

       In a syntax checking editor you may prevent Wx code from being given focus as the front process by setting an environment variable

       export WXPERL_OPTIONS=NO_MAC_SETFRONTPROCESS

       or

       $ENV{WXPERL_OPTIONS} = 'NO_MAC_SETFRONTPROCESS';

       The code that makes the SetFrontProcess call is in Wx::Mini as

       Wx::MacSetFrontProcess();

       so it is also straightforward to override this method if you wish.

       Finally, any code can force the running application to become the front process regardless of environment settings by calling the xs method
       directly. (Note the underscore in the method name).

       Wx::_MacSetFrontProcess();

NAME

       Module::Install::With - find environnement for Module::Install

   interactive
       The "interactive" function tests for an install that has a user present (or at least, one in which it is reasonable for us to present
       prompts and other similar types of things).

       Returns true if in an interactive environment, or false otherwise.

   automated_testing
       Are we currently running in an automated testing environment, such as CPAN Testers.

       This is primarily a cleaner and more human-readable equivalent of checking $ENV{AUTOMATED_TESTING} yourself, but may be improved in line
       with best practices at a later date.

   release_testing
       Are we currently running in an release testing environment. That is, are we in the process of running in a potential highly-intensive and
       high dependency bloat testing process prior to packaging a module for release.

       This is primarily a cleaner and more human-readable equivalent of checking $ENV{RELEASE_TESTING} yourself, but may be improved in line with
       best practices at a later date.

   win32
       The "win32" function tests if the Makefile.PL is currently running in a native Microsoft Windows Perl, such as ActivePerl or Strawberry
       Perl.

       This is primarily a cleaner and more human-readable equivalent of checking "$^O eq 'MSWin32'" yourself, but may be improved in line with
       best practices at a later date.

   winlike
       The "winlike" function tests if the Makefile.PL is currently running in a Microsoft Windows Perl, under either cygwin or a native Win32
       Perl.

       This is primarily a cleaner and more human-readable equivalent of checking "$^O eq 'MSWin32' or $^O eq 'cygwin'"yourself, but may be
       improved in line with best practices at a later date.
