Hi Mattia,

Everything in wxPerl assumes that the C++ class name matches the Perl

Well, it's good to know at least it was a pretty solid wall I was
ramming my head against ^_^;
sv_derived_from checks inheritance at the Perl level.
Well that's how it seemed to me! Given that, the perlapi documentation
is pretty damn misleading:
"sv_derived_from
Returns a boolean indicating whether the SV is
derived from the specified class _at the C level_. To check
derivation at the Perl level,
call "isa()" as a normal Perl method."
I was planning to submit a bug about the lack of documentation of $arg,
$var, $type, $ntype (although I suppose only the last two are less than
self-explanatory). I'll add that misleading function description to my
complaints.
What do I need to do to use the package name I want in Perl?
Wrap the class with the C++ name and subclass it in Perl with the
name you want?
Heh, that's what Eric suggested :-p It didn't work straight away when I
tried it though (I forget the error), so I went back to looking for the
'bug' assuming there must've been a more elegant way to do what I
wanted. Oh well!
Thanks for clearing that up,
