  Hi,
Please tell me how can I access the properties of the Wx::App object in the 
subroutine which initializes that object.
Is it absolutely necessary to use global variables? (Because I couldn't find 
another solution.)

I did:

use MyApp;
my $app = MyApp->new;
$app->{the_property} = "foo";
$app->MainLoop;

package MyApp;
use base 'Wx::App';
use Wx;

sub OnInit {
  my $self = shift;

#Here I want to access the Wx::App object property "the_property"
#for sending it to the frames created with Wx::Frame
}

  The OnInit method is called during ->new, so you can't set the 
attribute after new and read it in OnInit.  You could avoid OnInit 
entirely by deriving MyApp from Wx::SimpleApp:


use MyApp;
my $app = MyApp->new;
$app->{the_property} = "foo";
# create the frame instance(s) here
$app->MainLoop;

package MyApp;
use base 'Wx::App';
use Wx;

# other overridden methods here.

HTH,
