Marc,

  The ref() don't work because it only return the name of the package =
with the class of the object, not the type! In my case I can't know the =
name of the package to make the association, I need to check the real Wx =
type of the object before paste to a frame to not crash the app, and if =
it's not of the desired type set to undef.

  But thanks for the reply.

I was thinking that the wxPerl types would map to the wxWindow types for the
most part.  In your example:
    bool tmp = obj->IsKindOf(CLASSINFO(wxFrame));

you are testing for a kind of wxFrame.  In perl I would normally write that
using something like:

    my $tmp = UNIVERSAL::isa($obj, 'Wx::Frame');

What do you actually get when you ref() the object in question?  What
exactly are you trying to test for?
