during build, I see the following messages:
starting phase `build'
Building Alien-wxWidgets
'media' library not found: some functionality will be missing

Does this matter? Should we add more inputs?

Then this:
starting phase `check'
t/01_load.t .......... ok
t/zy_pod_coverage.t .. skipped: Test::Pod::Coverage 1.00 required for testing 
POD coverage
t/zz_pod.t ........... skipped: Test::Pod 1.00 required for testing POD

Similarly, add (native-)inputs?

Concerning these, I ran this command:
$ guix gc --references 
/gnu/store/r8lbv88cg2nqkk0a2hjcvrs0z3ljqrcy-perl-alien-wxwidgets-0.69
/gnu/store/a41jn9pcrgpkgba6vpd3m56r0fsczsv2-wxwidgets-gtk2-3.0.5.1
/gnu/store/r8lbv88cg2nqkk0a2hjcvrs0z3ljqrcy-perl-alien-wxwidgets-0.69

So wxwidgets-gtk2 should be a normal, non-native input.
Why -gtk2? Does this warrant a comment?

Concerning normal vs. propagated inputs, I must confess my ignorance of perl;
do all perl packages need to be propagated?

I would suggest insignificantly beefed up descriptive fields:
    (synopsis "Module for building, finding and using wxWidgets binaries")
    (description "Alien::wxWidgets can be used to detect and get configuration
settings from an installed wxWidgets package.")
