RE: Cann't Perl Build with wxWidget 3.0.2

Thanks, my real problem is with the interpreter crashing
I guess I'm not the only one
http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=1088597

and googling some more leads me to believe I should upgrade to a newer version of Strawberry. 
http://grokbase.com/t/perl/wxperl-users/132ngbahqz/wx-test-failures-with-2-9-4-on-strawberry-perl

Not a simple thing to do since I have so many modules installed and working...

It would be nice if the setup explanations for wx widgets were upgrade to account for these:  
- gcc > 4.5.x (mine is 4.4.3) 
- add header for gdiplus in your strawberry/c/include directory
- change GdiPlusMetaFile.h:     //static UINT Metafile::EmfToWmfBits( ->  static UINT EmfToWmfBits(
- change GdiPlusStringFormat.h    //StringTrimming StringFormat::GetTrimming() const ->    StringTrimming GetTrimming() const
