Whoops, replied to and from wrong email address: Hi Brad,
It sounds like you have a 'use' problem. Do you have a use Wx qw( :everything ); Or something at the beginning of your program? This should load the wxID_ANY styles and stuff. There are subsets of it which you are supposed to use, but I am too lazy to work out which. Mark has in fact written a program which will work out for each program what you should load. It's on the Wiki here: http://wiki.wxperl.nl/w/index.php/WxEXPORTS Good luck, Regards Steve On Sun, Jan 20, 2013 at 8:53 AM, Brad Van Sickle <bvs7...@gmail.com> wrote: > If i leave the single quotes off PERL complains that I "cannot use barewords > when strict is enabled" (or something to that effect. > > I ended up figuring out that for some reason PERL is unable to map those > "wxTE_xxxx" options to their values.
