I have just uploaded version 0.2 of X11::Wcl and version 2.7.2 of
Wcl to PAUSE.

This module provides an interface to the Widget Creation Library,
allowing rapid prototyping of GUI interfaces by specifying both
widget trees and widget resources using the standard X resource
syntax.  Creating an application mainly involves writing the
resource specifications and the PERL callback routines.

The 0.2 CHANGES file is attached.

release 0.2
-----------
- ported to AIX 3.2.5, AIX 4.2, HPUX 10.10

- Wcl-2.7.2 is a separate tar file, no more Wcl patches included in
  this package

- added support for Xt*Proc() functions; examples for XtAppAddInput
  and XtAppAddTimeout included

- added standard mainloop routine, configured via passed-in named
  parameters

- toplevel resources now processed via #if/#else/#endif preprocessing,
  similar to cpp

- callback function signature changes/improvements

- xscm examples merged into a single "xscm", using preprocessing to
  detect presence of Motif 2.0; added scm support script for use with
  it

- added support for Wcl 2.7.2 libMisc (contains hierarchical tree
  widget used by xscm on Motif 1.x systems)

- added support for editres

- header file list all in one place, in Wcl-i, to make it easier to
  port to other Xt toolkits

release 0.1

This is the initial release.
