            The document manager object which manages this template.
        @param descr
            A short description of what the template is for. This string will
            be displayed in the file filter list of Windows file selectors.
        @param filter
            An appropriate file filter such as "*.txt".
        @param dir
            The default directory to use for file selectors.
        @param ext
            The default file extension (such as "txt").
        @param docTypeName
            A name that should be unique for a given type of document, used for

            A pointer to the run-time document class information as returned by
            the wxCLASSINFO() macro, e.g. wxCLASSINFO(MyDocumentClass). If this is
            not supplied, you will need to derive a new wxDocTemplate class and

            instance on demand.

            A pointer to the run-time view class information as returned by the

            supplied, you will need to derive a new wxDocTemplate class and

                                         user in dialogs.

        perl packages which are to be used as @c Wx::Document and
        @c Wx::View classes (they must have a constructor named new);
        as an example:

        - Wx::DocTemplate->new(docmgr, descr, filter, dir, ext,
          docTypeName, viewTypeName, docClassInfo, viewClassInfo,
          flags): will construct document and view objects from the
          class information.
        - Wx::DocTemplate->new(docmgr, descr, filter, dir, ext,
          docTypeName, viewTypeName, docClassName, viewClassName,
          flags): will construct document and view objects from perl
          packages.
        - Wx::DocTemplate->new(docmgr, descr, filter, dir, ext,
          docTypeName, viewTypeName):

        By default, this function asks the user for the type of document to

            @c wxDOC_NEW.

    The document class can be used to model an application's file-based data.

    It is part of the document/view framework supported by wxWidgets, and
    cooperates with the wxView, wxDocTemplate and wxDocManager classes.

    A normal document is the one created without parent document and is
    associated with a disk file. Since version 2.9.2 wxWidgets also supports a
    special kind of documents called <em>child documents</em> which are virtual
    in the sense that they do not correspond to a file but rather to a part of
    their parent document. Because of this, the child documents can't be
    created directly by user but can only be created by the parent document
    (usually when it's being created itself). They also can't be independently
    saved. A child document has its own view with the corresponding window.
    This view can be closed by user but, importantly, is also automatically
    closed when its parent document is closed. Thus, child documents may be
    convenient for creating additional windows which need to be closed when the
    main document is. The docview sample demonstrates this use of child
    documents by creating a child document containing the information about the
    parameters of the image opened in the main document.
