Hi Worshipful monks, I'm trying to use wxMedia http://docs.wxwidgets.org/stable/wx_wxmediactrl.html, but I can't get the demo code to work. Does anyone have any working code showing how to use wxMedia?

I've posted the code I'm trying to use below. There are probably many errors, but the one I know about is on the last but one line.

my $app = MyApp->new(1,1);
[download]

I guess the values should be those from $class, $parent, but I'm a bit lost here!

What I hope to get is a media player displayed in a window, prompting me for a media file. What I actually get is no window and an error:

sub must be a CODE reference at C:/Perl/site/lib/Wx/App.pm line 36.

probably due to my invented parameters. Thanks in Advance.
