[wxperl-users] (?:W|w)xPerl::Constructors

[Eric W. <scr...@gm...>]

Hi all,

Now that it is roughly done, I think all I need is a name before putting 
it on CPAN.  Any objections to wxPerl::Constructors?

Documentation:

  http://scratchcomputing.com/tmp/WxPerl-Constructors.html
  http://scratchcomputing.com/tmp/WxPerl-Constructors-doc.html
  http://scratchcomputing.com/tmp/WxPerl-Constructors-argmap.html

The main change in WP::C::doc.pod being to change 'pos' to 
'position' (which avoids the aesthetic issue of using a perl builtin 
which often highlights as a function despite the fact that perl allows 
it to be unquoted via => hash-quoting rules.)  I thought about 'posi', 
which is good in that it has the same number of characters as 'size'.  
Also, 'poz' might work since it is pronounced the same.  Alternatively 
'place' keeps us in the same neighborhood as 'style' in terms of key 
length.

In the end, I went with the longhand under the assumption that you 
almost never need to specify a value for position.  Is that about 
right?  I'm thinking it *might* get used in dialogs and frames if the 
window manager can't do its job for some reason.  For me, it has always 
been a piece of padding that I have to mention before I can specify a 
style.  If someone has a frequent use case, I can shorten it.

Anyway... running code:

  svn co http://scratchcomputing.com/svn/WxPerl-Constructors/trunk

Thanks,
Eric
