README for SDL_Perl-2.1.2 What's New in 2.1.2: SDL_Perl-2.1.2 is a bug patch release that fixed a number of memory leaks in blitting code, handles glGet queries, and some Build fixes. For full details check the CHANGELOG file. Prerequisites: SDL Perl recommends installing the following libraries available from http://www.libsdl.org/ prior to installing: SDL-1.2.6 smpeg-0.4.4 SDL_image-1.2.2 SDL_gfx-2.0.3 SDL_mixer-1.2.5 SDL_net-1.2.4 SDL_ttf-2.0.5 Additionally the following Perl modules should be installed: Module-Build-0.22 Test-Simple-0.47 Installation: perl Build.PL ./Build ./Build test ./Build install The build process will use the new Module::Build facility to autodetect and build SDL Perl for your platform. If the build fails please forward bugs to sdl-devel@perl.org. Documentation: Each module now includes its own documentation, and is accessible through perldoc. Additional tutorials, code, and tips can be found at the website: http://sdl.perl.org Online documentation and tutorials are available through perldoc module. Contributing: Anyone wishing to contribute modules, sprite engines, documentation, and anything else that others might find useful, please join the mailing list: sdl-devel@perl.org This is a mailing list for those interested in SDLperl development, both as an applications developer, and as a core contributor. I am always more than happy to take patches, bug reports, and helpful suggestions. It is feedback, both good and poor, that keeps projects like this going. Enjoy, David J. Goehrig 23 September 2004
