I have the following event handler dealing with a change in a Wx::TextCtrl:

    Wx::Event::EVT_TEXT($self, $IcqText, sub {
                        my ($self, $event) = @_;
                        $self->{AMP1}->Icq(($IcqText->GetValue) / 1000
+);});

Where $IcqText->GetValue returns a wxString and the / 1000 throws the warning Argument "" isn't numeric in division (/) at ./CEAmp.pl line 163. The division is successfully completed.

The following modification masks the warning:

    Wx::Event::EVT_TEXT($self, $IcqText, sub {
                        my ($self, $event) = @_;
                        {
                        no warnings;
                        $self->{AMP1}->Icq(($IcqText->GetValue) / 1000
+);
                        }
                        });

Is there an alternate way to "cast" the wxString to numeric?

There's never enough time to do it right, but always enough time to do it over...
