I'm trying something similar but hiding and showing pannels is not working. If I create two panels, hide the first one and show the second one only a small piece of the first panel is shown. I think the first panel is overlapping in some way. How do I fix this? See included code. 
#!perl -w
use Wx;
#######################################

package MyApp;

use strict;
use vars qw(@ISA);
@ISA = qw(Wx::App);

# the OnInit method is called
sub OnInit {
    my($this) = @_;
    my($frame) = MyFrame->new( undef, -1, "Test window", [600, 400], [
+400, 600] );

    $frame->Show(1);

    $this->SetTopWindow($frame);

    # if OnInit doesn't return true, the application exits immediately
+.
    return 1;
}
