better: just create a MyCanvas derived from Wx::Window that is
responsible for all the input handling;
it will have an EVT_PAINT handler ( to redraw itself ), and at least
EVT_LEFT_DOWN, EVT_MOTION and EVT_RIGHT_DOWN handlers ( see the docs
for wxMouseEvent for details )

if $window is some Wx::Window and $menu your Wx::Menu then
$window->PopupMenu( $menu, $point );
or $window->PopupMenu( $menu, $x, $y );
will do

To draw lines use:
my $dc = Wx::ClientDC->new( $window );
and then call the appropriate methods on the DC ( device context )
hint: use Wx::DC::SetLogicalFunction( wxXOR ) for drawing connection
lines while dragging

I am sure no one will complain if you write them ;-p
