Yes, you didn't post on the list ;)(seeing how fresh wxPerl is, anyone who knows anything is subscribed to the list) Wx-0.15/ext/grid/typemap says:

Wx_Grid *               O_WXOBJECT
wxGrid *                O_WXOBJECT

In theory, you should be able to subclass it , but those bits may not be finished yet, the readme says:

DEPRECATIONS

The following features have been deprecated and may disappear in the f
+uture

1 - class->new always returning an hash reference
    until now calling ->new( ... ) returned an hash reference for most
    classes derived from Wx::Window, hence the following code
    worked:

    my $button = Wx::Button->new( ... );
    $button->{attribute} = 'value';

    At some point in the future this will be changed so that only
    _user-defined_ classes derived from Wx::Window
    (or from any class derived from Wx::Window)
    will yield an hash reference, hence the following code will not wo
+rk:

    my $button = Wx::Button->new( ... );
    my $window = Wx::Window->new( ... );
    $button->{a} = 'b';
    $window->{c} = 'd';

    while the following code will work as it did before:

    my $button = MyButton->new( ... ); # MyButton ISA Wx::Button
    my $window = MyWindow->new( ... ); # MyWindow ISA Wx::Window
    $button->{a} = 'b';
    $window->{c} = 'd';

I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6.x and 5.8.x -- I take requests (README).
