Hi.
A bit of Google turned up these links:
http://bloodgate.com/perl/sdl/sdl_perl.html
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/wayne.keenan/sdl/perl/win32/
It would seem that the "official" sourceforge SDL Perl is indeed rather dead, so these are forked versions from that codebase.
Use at your own risk, since I have absolutely no idea about their stability or suitability for what you are trying to do, and I've never even used them before.
I hope that this helps.
Cheers, -- Dave :-)

Absolutely!
Ever play Frozen Bubble? Uses Perl, SDL, and is available on just about everything. It's a practical real-world application, and someday my wife may stop playing it.
NOT! :) | [reply] |
The maintainer took a sabbatical, so we're making plans to host the code elsewhere and find another maintainer. I'm not sure we can get the old code out of CVS, but we have a current snapshot. It'll probably be a few weeks before anything comes together though.

Well, it's very nice to know that the project hasn't fallen off the face of the Earth (or at least not permanently). I'm incredibly excited at what I've seen so far.

I have a few scripts I wrote for perl/SDL/OpenGL on Linux, to do some basic 3D geometry stuff. (I wrote them to test my CPAN Math::Polyhedra module.) A basic event loop, a shaded, lit, materialized, display-listed set of polyhedra, and some camera control.
Please /msg me if you want me to email a copy of my scripts to you once I get home. They'd serve as a starting point for some experiments of your own.
I was planning on a much larger project, but I could never get a texture applied to a 3D polygon (even following the usual OpenGL references), which would be critical for the project. If more recent builds can do that properly, I'd be interested in doing more perl/SDL/OpenGL work.
