Maybe I'm reading the wrong manual, but these are the steps I followed:

  1. Google "wxperl"

    I followed the first link to

  2. wxperl at sourceforge

    This is the same place I arrive when I click your link above!

    I clicked the link at the end of this line:

    wxPerl 0.26 is out! Binaries compiled against wxWidgets 2.6.1 are available from the Download page.
  3. Arrived at the download page.

    I scanned down to the second section, "Documentation", and read

    Documentation for wxPerl is available as TeX, HTML, and MS HTML Help

    I selected the HTML form and downloaded this zipfile.

    Expanded it onto my ram drive and clicked the first html file, and then "home" at the top of the page and arrived at the contents page from which the instructions I listed above proceed.

In order to remember the steps I took, I just now followed them again. And I then followed the steps in my earlier post and found all the same information.

If there is a version 2.6.2, then it does not appear on the wxperl sourceforge page, and if there is a more relevant documentation set, it isn't listed under the "documentation" link there.

If you could point me at wherever I should be looking for latest code and docs, preferably where I can download the docs without source or binaries initially, I will review them and update my original post.

However, I don't think that the course I took to finding what I found is a particularly unusual way that others might go looking for their first introduction to wxPerl, so it might be a good idea to try and make the good stuff available at the place that Google rates as the best link for it. Especially as it is the same place that your link above takes me to.
