Phoenix.pm: wxPerl on Mac OS X

You might want to try the mailing list archives:

The search doesn't appear to be working correctly right now though. :(  I
did a little work with OS X and wxPerl several months ago, so the details
are a little fuzzy.  I had other issues though - toolbar images weren't
showing up.  This may be fixed now, but I don't have access to an OS X box
to check.  If all else fails, join the mailing list:
