<h1>Learning wxPerl and wxWidgets</h1>
<p>
For those like me (Gabor) who lack imagination here is an explanation of the stack.
</p>
<ul><li>wxWidgets is the name of the C++ library that can be installed either by your operating systems package management tool ( aptitude install wx-common in case of Debian ) or by installing Alien::wxWidgets from CPAN
</li><li><a href="http://www.scintilla.org/">Scintilla</a> is an editor component written in C++ and used in many editors. It has been included in wxWidgets ad the STC or wxStyledTextCtrl. Padre 0.92 and later will use Wx::Scintilla instead of old Wx::STC to provide the latest and greatest from Scintilla.
</li><li>wxPerl is the name of the Perl binding to wxWidgets (or wrapper if you prefer that word) - It is packaged as the Wx distro on CPAN. Some of the recent Linux distros might also have.
</li><li>Above all that comes our code (Padre in our case)</li></ul>
