Greetings Monks,

Unlike all the rest of the WxPerl objects, WxGrid->new() seems to return a scalar rather than a hashref (thus preventing me from subclassing it), as shown below. 

use Wx qw(:everything );
use Wx::Grid;
*Wx::App::OnInit = sub {1};
my $a = Wx::App->new;
my $f = Wx::Frame->new( undef, -1,'');
my $p= Wx::Panel->new($f,-1);
my $s= Wx::ScrolledWindow->new($p,-1); #Grid derives from this
my $g = Wx::Grid->new($p,-1);
print "$p\n$s\n$g\n";

[download]
...which prints 
Wx::Panel=HASH(0xdeadbeef)
Wx::ScrolledWindow=HASH(0xbaddeed)
Wx::Grid=SCALAR(0xfeeddad)

[download]
...under ActiveState 5.8.0 with WxPerl 0.15, using the 8xx PPM fom the WXPerl site.

There was no Wx_Grid defined in the distro's typemap, (everything else is a 'O_WXOBJECT') so I presumed this was the root of the problem, but as nobody here or on the WxPerl mailing list seems to have posted anything about this, I wondered if I was missing something?

Cheers,
Ben
