Why? Wx is an abstraction layer on top of several implementations. It
cannot do more than the implementation supports (unless it can emulate
it). Wx's strenght is that it gives the application the look and feel
of the underlying --native-- implementation instead of something
differently.
Win32::GUI is not the underlying implementation of WxPerl. It is just
another perl module which is based on Win32 API, just like WxPerl for
Windows is.
And yes, WxPerl is richer than Win32::GUI because it offers more controls,
even if some of them are based on "external" tools, like Wx::Help (that can
create chm widgets).
Wx::ActiveX is also much better developed than Win32::GUI::AxWindow, WxPerl
has more layout managers than Win32::GUI, WxPerl handles UTF-8 while
Win32::GUI doesn't and there may be many other advantages of WxPerl.
