open OBJect file with perl

Bpl has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello Monkers,

I was searching a wayforopen .obj file (3d models) but I was able to find only OpenGL::GLM library (with the interested function "glmReadOBJ") which fails during installation.

Do you know if I can open obj files in other ways using OpenGL perl library?
Thanks,

Do you mean Wavefront_.obj_file, if so Model3D::WavefrontObject may be of interest, but you aren't clear on exactly what file type you're talking about or what you want to do with it besides 'open' it.	[reply]

Hi Marto! Sorry if I was obscure but my idea was to find something which acts similar to the glmReadOBJ(obj_file) function, which open and visualize the 3d obj file Regards Edoardo Mantovani, 2020	[reply]

You don't say how OpenGL::GLM failed to install. How do I post a question effectively?. Update: did you experience this?	[reply]

Maybe you can tell us how OpenGL::GLM fails to install? It requires the `glm` library, which maybe is provided by the `libglm-dev` package in your OS package manager?	[reply] [d/l] [select]
