Can't subclass Wx::Frame using parent.pm?

2010-11-13 Thread Octavian Rasnita 
Hi,

I have tried:

package Package::Name;
use strict;
use warnings;
use Wx ':everything';
use parent 'Wx::Frame';

It gives the following error:

Can't locate Wx/Frame.pm in @INC (@INC contains: E:/usr/site/lib E:/usr/lib .) 
at E:/usr/lib/parent.pm line 20.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at E:\work\lib\Package\Name.pm line 7.

The program doesn't giv the error if I use instead:

use base 'Wx::Frame';

Is there anything in base.pm which is needed by WxPerl but it isn't offered by 
parent.pm?

Thanks.

Octavian

parent.pm insists on loading the module as Wx/Frame.pm, while most Wx
modules are loaded from other files when you did use Wx.
base.pm seems to be much smarter.

You can get the desired behaviour by using 

  use parent -norequire, 'Wx::Frame';

(Which I consider an ugly hack...)

Oh yes, Wx uses a strange design and I have forgotten that this could be a 
problem. :-)

Yes you're right. Better using 'base.pm'...

Thank you.
