Thank you so much to Johan, I got going with the "quick start" cpanm
commands.

Yes, they took a while to run, but necessarily so.

Feedback:

   1. I installed Wx::Demo, and it worked - wxperl_demo.pl ran as soon as I
   tried it, I didn't need to mess with any paths or deal with icon errors
   2. I got wxGlade 1.1.0 running, but not with Python 3.13 (some kind of
   *WindowIterator* error, idk); I had to use the latest Python 3.12
   3. a simple test "wxglade_out.pl" ran just fine also
   4. wxpar will generate an EXE, but see below for the problem description

Questions:
I figured out wxpar is available via Wx::Perl::Packager
<https://metacpan.org/pod/Wx::Perl::Packager>, so I installed that - no
problems there. My problem comes from the executable that results from
wxpar. Do any of the following issues sounds familiar?

   - I have to include Wx:: modules explicitly, e.g., wxGlade wants to use
   EXPORTER tags; but when I run the .exe created by wxpar, it complains about
   missing things like Wx::DND, Wx::FS, etc. Is it just a known thing to have
   to explicitly declare modules when packaging up to an EXE?
   - After working through the above issue, the .exe I create will run but
   it does nothing visible in STDOUT or in the GUI. Using the "--gui" option
   will cause a process tab to appear in the bottom task bar, but then it also
   goes away without showing anything.

Thanks again, looking forward to getting these issues resolved. In the
meantime, I will be working on some test applications on the Windows set up
so I build up to creating what I actually have in mind.

Cheers,
Brett
