I quiver when I think that my more elaborate distributions aren't clear in their documentation... (that said, I realize that this is a *massive* undertaking, wrapping over all of Wx).

I can't find any documentation or examples of "how-to" extending a class or doing what I want, so I think I'll contact the author to see. I didn't want to spend a whole day writing a little gui app.

Is Wx the way to go in Perl for GUI? Tk looks like it has much better documentation. Despite that it doesn't look as nice (realistically, that won't matter to me), the fact that it is far more prevalent and apparently wider-used, I might start over with it.

My goals for the GUI are ensure functionality with the back-end actions, ease of writing, ease of changes, ease of "I need to do this..." type searches.
