Well, it looks as though I should have used SetValue instead of SetBuffer,
but the crash is on the line before.
$html_handler->LoadFile($buffer, $fh );
But maybe the error is in the XML instead of the wxPerl syntax?
The XML is created by just saving the buffer in the sample application, here
it is (sorry for the length):
