Awesome. You are indeed the man. I was quite impressed with the screenshots the last time I saw them, and I am looking forward to playing with it. Thanks for reminding me.

(I'm actually running Debian Sarge now, so maybe OpenGL.pm and SDL and all the other shiny modules will work too! Go! Go! Spiffy Perl Game Development!)

As a heads up, it looks like your CPAN dependencies might need tweaking. It doesn't check to see if you already have Tk.pm and Tk::PNG.pm.

update:Doesn't compile easily and then has test failures :) ... Also (installing on a fairly raw system) the test failures really don't explain the failures sometimes, though I'm sure most of them are just missing fonts and the like. For convience, I've attached my test failures below...

Anybody care to take a shot at this one? Forcing the install leads to success of most demos, though it still attempts to do things like call nonexistant methods like Tk::After::Cancelled->cancel (or something). It also looks like there are quite a few warnings, but otherwise very very cool. The radar demo is great.
