Re^3: WxPerl and drag and dropping files

So, how did it not work?

Also, what are the contents of @_ in sub doit?

Also, what is this code supposed to do:

\&otherSub($file);
[download]

Maybe you just want to call othersub?

otherSub($file);
[download]

If you are passing $file as parameter already, there is no need to make it into a global variable. Just use my $file and pass the filehandle around as a parameter.

Wx::Frame=HASH(0x11d6a04) Wx::DropFilesEvent=SCALAR(0x12e59b4)
[download]

Naturally with help of wxperl_usage / wxperl-usage / wxPerl::Usage / Class Method Browser , available methods, method invocation syntax, link to docs

I come upon
http://docs.wxwidgets.org/trunk/classwx_drop_files_event.html
http://docs.wxwidgets.org/2.8.12/wx_wxdropfilesevent.html

Which list things like

wxDropFilesEvent::GetFiles

wxString* GetFiles() const

Returns an array of filenames.

wxDropFilesEvent::GetNumberOfFiles

int GetNumberOfFiles() const

Returns the number of files dropped.
[download]

Funny thing wxperl_usage also lists those things

Usage: Wx::DropFilesEvent::GetFiles(THIS)
$THIS->GetFiles()
Usage: Wx::DropFilesEvent::GetNumberOfFiles(THIS)
$THIS->GetNumberOfFiles()
