As someone who has come to rely pretty heavily on Win32::GUI, I did think about subclassing/modifying the ListView object, but I have a few good reasons why I didn't go that route. First of all, I'm not much of an OO programmer. I like to encapsulate my modules as objects, but have only done the most basic of inheritance type stuff. Secondly, I don't really understand how Win32::GUI works. I've never done XS and the whole thing is a bit of a black box to me. I would love to muck about in Win32::GUI::ListView::Add() if only I could find it! Finally, as I understand it (see preceding paragraph for qualifications), Win32::GUI is basically a wrapper that calls some functions in some windows dll. I'm not sure if it's appropriate to be beefing it up with too much perl-side logic. For that reason, subclassing it seems more natural than altering the module itself...
