  I have not checked (stupid me). However the wxWidgets
package in=
stalls the libraries under /usr/local and the
wxWidgets binaries are def=
initely not there (and if they were
they would have a different name). I=
 have no idea
about the wxPerl shipped with Tiger. If they did things by=
 the book
it should be installed in the 'vendor' directories while the .=
pkg
should install in the 'site' directory; if Apple did not things
by =
the book then the package will almost likely overwrite
the wxPerl shippe=
d with the OS.

I opened up the package files and checked.

It looks like Tiger's wxPerl lives in /System/Library/Perl/Extras.  =20
The libs are in /System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.8.6/darwin-thread-=20
multi-2level/Wx*, and there's an intriguing application called =20
wxPerl.app sitting in /System/Library/Perl/Extras/Applications (what =20
does it do I wonder?  an example app maybe from a wxPerl enthusiast =20
working at Apple?)

I believe that means an install in /Library/Perl/5.8.6/darwin-thread-=20
multi-2level/ (which is what the pkg file does) will supersede it =20
without clobbering it.  It may overwrite /usr/bin/wxPerl; I'll back =20
that up just in case.
