Yes, and it's not too hard. There are a couple of gotchas, though.
First, because Wx classes are not Moose classes, you should use
the MooseX::NonMoose module to simplify inheritance. You can get by
without it, but it saves a lot of effort.
Second, Wx::App (and thus Wx::SimpleApp) are a bit odd. You can't
provide your own constructor; the class makes a shadow copy of the App
object behind the scenes; and you can't make the class immutable in
MOP -- or else your OnInit will never get called!
I have written a brief tutorial on using Moose with WxPerl. I
haven't released it yet because it's incomplete, and I think it's a
bit rough around the edges. You're welcome to read it, though, at
http://cl.ly/197f818fd93974d07d60 (in PDF format). (By the way, I
would appreciate any feedback!)
I hope this helps.
