I've been able to install wxWidgets on my Mac and use wxPython just fine, but now that I'm trying to use Perl, I need to download wxPerl. I tried to install and the install failed, and I'm not sure what went wrong or how to fix it. Can you help? Here is the terminal output. I can share the error log if needed, but it's pretty long. It's also worth noting that I still had this problem with cpan and with downloading the .tar file and building from that.

I can share more of the warnings if that would help.
It looks like whichever version of wxWidgets that is being used here doesn't include the fix from this commit (from almost 4 years ago) which is required to build with macOS Sierra or later.
AFAIR, you should be able to get 3.0.4 release, build it yourself and then point Alien to it.
