Editing Wx 3.009, Alien::wxWidgets 0.73, Strawberry Perl 5.42.2.1 PDL

=== Step 1 - Install Strawberry Perl PDL (5.42.2.1) ===

Install the Strawberry Perl PDL ZIP edition from the Strawberry Perl release page:

<big>[https://github.com/StrawberryPerl/Perl-Dist-Strawberry/releases/tag/SP_54221_64bit Strawberry Perl 5.42.2.1 64-bit release assets]</big>

Download:

<big><code>strawberry-perl-5.42.2.1-64bit-PDL.zip</code></big>

==== Installing Strawberry Perl (5.42.2.1) + PDL ====

This build uses the Strawberry Perl PDL edition rather than the standard MSI. The PDL ZIP conventionally unpacks under:

<big><code>C:\sw\pdl</code></big>

This provides a Windows Perl environment that includes the Perl Data Language. See [https://wiki.perl-guilds.net/Portal:SciTech notes on creating a Perl environment using Strawberry Perl that includes PDL].

After extracting the ZIP, make sure the following directories are available in the active <code>PATH</code>:

<pre>
C:\sw\pdl\c\bin
C:\sw\pdl\perl\site\bin
C:\sw\pdl\perl\bin
</pre>

You can verify the Perl and PDL installation with:

<big><code>C:\> perl -v</code></big>

<big><code>C:\> perl -MPDL -E "say $PDL::VERSION"</code></big>

Once this is set up, the rest of the instructions starting with Step 2 below should work the same.

=== Step 2 - Install Alien::wxWidgets (v 0.73) ===

Once Perl is installed and the Strawberry Perl PDL directories are in the active <code>PATH</code>, open a Windows CMD window or PowerShell window using that environment.

Type the command at the <code>C:\></code> prompt:

<big><code>C:\> cpanm --verbose <nowiki>https://github.com/sciurius/perl-Alien-wxWidgets/releases/download/R0.73/Alien-wxWidgets-0.73.tar.gz</nowiki></code></big>

=== Step 3 - Install Wx / wxPerl (v 3.009) ===

<big><code>C:\> cpanm --verbose <nowiki>https://github.com/sciurius/wxPerl/releases/download/R3.009/Wx-3.009.tar.gz</nowiki></code></big>
