Research direction
The error occurs because getpwuid is unimplemented on Windows in Perl's packager. To fix, investigate the conditional loading in src/Interface/Wx.pm line 32 and the Wx/Perl/Packager/Base.pm line 658. Consider wrapping the use statement in an eval to handle Windows gracefully or use an alternative module. Review recent comments for any proposed solutions.
