for example Tk::StatusBar labels can have color text and can be centered, but in wxPerl that's not yet implemented (at least in wxwidgets 2.8.11. This is not so important for the functionality of the application, but you got the point ...),

Your overall point is a good one, but Tk::StatusBar is a poor example since it is a pure-perl widget, and wxStatusBar is the interface to the underlying systems native status bar

You can get color text in a wxStatusbar, see How do I destroy a control after its creation in wxPerl?

Or you can create the equivalent of Tk::StatusBar for wxPerl (and call it Wx::Perl::StatusBar ) by copying StatusBar.pm, and swapping Tk::Frame for Wx::Frame, Tk::ProgressBar for Wx::ProgressDialog, Tk::Label for Wx::StaticText, in about 10 minutes :)
