I agree... I'll add a note.

You don't need wxListItem :-)

my $index = $event->GetIndex(); # or whatever
# select
                             #  value                 mask
$list->SetItemState( $index, wxLIST_STATE_SELECTED, wxLIST_STATE_SELECTED );
# deselect
$list->SetItemState( $index, 0, wxLIST_STATE_SELECTED );
# set the focus, clear selection
$list->SetItemState( $index, wxLIST_STATE_FOCUSED,
                     wxLIST_STATE_SELECTED|wxLIST_STATE_FOCUSED );

P.S.: there is a ( perhaps clearer ) explanation about
      SetItemState somewhere in the archives
