I'll leave Herbert to give you an update on the Cookbook.

Regarding Citrus, I don't use it myself, however I do believe it now 
comes with wxWidgets 3.0.0, while the latest is wxWidgets 3.0.1. Maybe 
Johan or Mark can give you a better

3.0.1 does have a few bugs ironed out, but there is no formal script for 
installing it.

As we stand, I believe the status is as follows.

cpan -i Wx will give you 3.0.0, but I've never tested it.

My main system is on 2.8.11, but I use 3.0.1 for development, which I 
install with a custom script.

The script I use for installing wxWidgets 3.0.1 on a 64 bit 
multiprocessor architecture running Kubuntu 14.04LTS follows this email.

I just keep it in a file, logon to sudo with 'sudo -s' and type 'sh 
filename.sh'.

Regards,

Steve.
