  With wxWidgets & wxPerl CVS it works for me (in minimal sample);
you are not passing
the right parameters: the second arguments needs to be a Window/Item ID
(numerical). wxPerl lets you use a Wx::Window (getting its id) and,
in 2.5.x only a Wx::MenuItem. Neither a Wx::menuBar nor a Wx::Menu
is supposed to work.

  I will look into the problem with popup menus.
