Editing Developing and Distributing wxPerl Applications on Windows (section)

== Introduction ==
This article is about installing wxPerl under Strawberry Perl for application development and distribution as a Windows executable.

=== Why Perl GUIs, why Windows? ===
This is a critical ability for any freelance Perl developer, since it compliments a Perl journeyman's ability to do many things on servers, such as create remote services. Being able to transfer these skills to the desktop environment, particularly one that is full of users who are okay with paying for software (i.e., Windows). In short, Perl programmers who want to make a living on their own need to know how to create and distribute Windows GUI applications; this page covers a large piece of how to do that.
