[wxperl-users] wxPerl-Constructors

[Eric W. <scr...@gm...>]

Hi all,

I've finally gotten around to the s/WxPerl/wxPerl/ rename.  Has anybody 
tried it yet?  Any thoughts before it goes on CPAN?

  http://scratchcomputing.com/svn/wxPerl-Constructors/trunk

The next release of dotReader will be depending on it, so that should 
happen "real soon now".

Hi Eric.

I think this looks rather good.

I would not fret about the inheritance / isa issues. I don't think you can solve these in a none restrictive way without ending up with a syntax at least as verbose as the standard - or something completely different.

Provided it points out the issues in the pod (which it does) I would say that is good enough.

Regards

Mark

  Not tried it, just read the documentation.

  I'm just curious as to why you made

  my $ctrl = wxPerl::Foo->new(undef);
  my $ctrl = wxPerl::Foo->new(); 

equivalent, given that the only windows for which an undef parent
makes sense (Wx::Frame and Wx::Dialog) have additional mandatory
arguments.

Oops, that's right.  Those both require a title, so that doesn't make=20
much sense.  I suppose I should make wxPerl::Foo->new() be equivalent=20
to Wx::Foo->new() then?

Thanks,
Eric
