Ok, so I should have a hash keyed on the long and then have the value for
that key be a hashref?

Could you provide some sample code, please? I would really appreciate it.
I'm confused that the $id in my original code is always 0. I would really

I would appreciate it if you could produce a simple snippet of code to
illustrate this (inserting an item, storing its data in a global hash
keyed on the long and then retrieving).

I'm still pretty new to Wx and finding it pretty difficult.
