Re: Any tutorials or how-to's for wxPerl on MacOS?

Hi David,

The latest release indicates it works for MacOS - but I have not tried it.
My MacOS is ancient, and for wxPerl I am generally focused on a Windows
development environment that *nix folks can use without pulling their hair
out.

https://github.com/sciurius/wxPerl/releases/tag/R3.010

What is the modern way Perl versions are updated on MacOS or are you using
system perl?

Cheers,
Brett
