I'd assume that as long as those perl GL APIs recognize the Wx::GLContext object you set as your canvas' current context, they should be just fine. I made a derived wxGLCanvas in my project and the c++ OpenGL APIs worked straight away with it.
Best of luck.

There is a Perl module with bindings to OpenGL. In fact the German Perl journal "$foo" published a two part series on how to create simple graphics with the "OpenGL" module. I think I'll reread that particular article and see if it can be applied to Wx::GLCanvas. Cheers, Ron.
