Wx::WidgetMaker

When starting to learn wxPerl, it can be frustrating trying to figure out which widgets handle what functionality. If you've ever done CGI development, you soon realize why it's not a bad idea to leverage the web browser as a graphical user interface: it can be complicated to implement functionality that you take for granted as an HTML/CGI developer.

This module tries to make implementing wxPerl dialogs friendlier to a Perl CGI programmer by using an API similar to CGI.pm. (Specifically, it supports what I consider to be a useful/relevant subset of CGI.pm's :standard export tags.) It tries to adhere as faithfully as reasonable to the CGI API where applicable, and otherwise to do something intuitive.

For more details, read `perldoc Wx::WidgetMaker`.
