App::GUI::Notepad: Everybody loves screenshots :)

A while ago now, the ever-helpful Ben Marsh was kind enough to implement App::GUI::Notepad as a test case for the "Desktop Perl" concept.

The main purpose is to provide a simple desktop application that could be installed directly from CPAN.

And I finally found the time today to go through the motions and actually install it on Windows 2000 with Vanilla Perl build 3.

Since Mattia hasn't done the final production WxPerl release yet, you need to call the following the following in the CPAN.pm client shell.

> install Alien::WxWidgets
> install MBARBON/Wx-0.49_06.tar.gz
> install App::GUI::Notepad
After you do that, you too can witness the wonder that is Notepad... erm... I mean Perlpad!


More Win32-compatible GUI apps from CPAN

I know of at least App::ErrorCalculator which I uploaded to CPAN a while ago.
