I would use wx::combobox (here: 
http://docs.wxwidgets.org/trunk/classwx_combo_box.html).  I don't recall 
if it has a a client data attribute like listctrl, if not you can always 
use an indexed array like this:

@combo_options = ("Andy", "Bob", "Charlie", "Dave", "Edward", 
"François"); # User names
@userid = ("a_smith", "r_smith", "c_smith", "d_smith", "e_smith", 
"f_rappaz); # User ids

Wx::ComboBox->new($self->{$parent, -1, "", wxDefaultPosition, 
wxDefaultSize, \@combo_options, wxCB_DROPDOWN|wxCB_READONLY|wxCB_SORT);

.
.
.
.

     $userid_selected=$userid[$combobox->GetSelection()];

There's so much code in cpan -i Wx::Demo for everything.  Otherwise 
people have put various tutorials on PerlMonks.  Here are some other links:

Oh and I almost forgot, wxGlade (apt-get install python-wxglade) will 
produce wxPerl code for you, although I don't know if it has been 
upgraded for 3.0.x.  I used it to to build most of my early screens.  At 
least it will get your syntax right.

Good luck,

Steve.
