It supports all the Dnd stuff wxWindows supports, _except_ DnD
( and cut'n'paste ) of user-defined data ( planned for a future version ). The rest 
should work.

sf.net/projects/wxperl/ -> samples -> download the samples for 0.06
demo/demo.pl -> Misc -> Drag&Drop shows TextDropTarget and
BitmapDropTarget; below there is a FilesDropTarget

package DNDFilesDropTarget;

use base qw(Wx::FileDropTarget);

sub new {
  my $class = shift;
  my $listbox = shift;
  my $this = $class->SUPER::new( @_ );

  $this->{LISTBOX} = $listbox;

  return $this;
}

sub OnDropFiles {
  my( $this, $x, $y, $files ) = @_;

  $this->{LISTBOX}->Clear;
  Wx::LogMessage( "Dropped files at ($x, $y)" );
  foreach my $i ( @$files ) {
    $this->{LISTBOX}->Append( $i );
  }

  return 1;
}

BTW the demo for 0.08 was really unpolished, but the code
works.
