Note, I don't have wxPerl here at the university, so I
am guessing (good guesses, I hope...)

Either: 1 - call Wx::InitAllImageHandler
        2 - Wx::Image::AddHandler( Wx::GIFImageHandler->new )
should work; 1 will work for sure, 2 should, but maybe
I got the class/method names wrong.

It is a static method, call it as:
Wx::XmlResource::GetXRCID( "string" )
the complaint comes from the fact that $foo->M( 'bar' )
is calling M with two arguments ( $foo and 'bar' );
