  If you just need square or rectangular cells, it is much easier to just
use Wx::ScrolledWindow and draw the cells yourself.

  It probably takes more time testing it than writing it (but this only if
you already know about wxPerl/XS); however I still think it is much better
to use a Wx::ScrolledWindow.
