No. You are using a Wx::Perl::TextValidator, that validates single
character input only.
Wx::PlValidator is a base class to define your own validators that can
do anything you want.
See e.g., http://wxperl.pvoice.org/w/index.php/Wx::Validator .
Note, however, that validators can be fooled when pasting invalid
characters in the field.
I have some text field classes derived from Wx::TextCtrl that check
input upon each keystroke and could serve as an example.
