Thank you, Mark, for this good explanation. In my case, (realizing that you can glean from DateTime.xsp what's implemented), I just used: $sta = $time_from_wx->SetHMS(0);
Which is what I need at that point in the code.

Hi, First and foremost, the date parsing methods are not implemented in the wxPerl for the 2.9.x branch of wxWidgets. This is because the API for these methods changed completely from the 2.8 branch to the 2.9 branch. When the 2.9 branch was first created, the code you quoted was added to wxPerl simply to allow compilation with the new wxWidgets branch. I imagine the intention was to return to the code and implement the 2.9.x API at some point. For myself, and I would guess previously Mattia, a full implementation on Wx::DateTime is a pretty low priority. My view would be that you should use one of the many excellent Perl module groups for Date Time manipulation to parse and calculate date values. Use Wx::DateTime objects only to pass your values to and from the GUI methods and functions as necessary. Not that it would have helped you in this case, but you have written code based on the 2.8.x wxWidgets API which would not work with the 2.9.x API anyway. I'll make sure that the date parsing functions are on the 'todo' list, but I would highly recommend using your favourite dedicated Perl DateTime module set instead.
