You need a perl that has threads. Either you can find one packaged
for FreeBSD or you need to compile it yourself.
Don't worry though! Compiling Perl is quite easy. Especially if you compare
to what  you will have to suffer when compiling wxWidgets :-)
I'd recommend to also join a FreeBSD developers mailing list and ask
for help there too in this two issues. That is getting threaded perl and
getting the most recent wxWidgets.
