wxPerl Installation Script for Ubuntu 14.04LTS 64bit

Steve, et.al.

I ran the install script that I had previously posted, over the weekend. I
didn't get an accurate runtime as I thought I would be able to scroll up
the terminal window and get the start time, but the mass of messages
overflowed the terminal window buffering. At any rate I estimate it took
about 1 1/2 hours.

I tried running it again, but it died due to the wxPerl directory not being
empty.

So, I add commands to delete the Alien-wxWidgets and wxPerl directories and
to log messages to a file. This version(below) ran in about 45 minutes, I
assume because the packages were all ready updated and all the cpan stuff
was already installed. Also included is the .desktop file need to create a
Launcher entry.

wxDemo is working! Try the media control demo then the next control down. I
get an X crash when I do that.

Comments for improvement are welcome.

Thanks for your help.

James
