When I try to run a script using SDL_Perl, I get a pop up box that says "This application has failed to start because SDL_gfx.dll was not found" I am unable to find that DLL, and I think it's non-existant. I also get a bunch of messages in the console saying: Can't load 'C:/Perl/site/lib/auto/SDL_perl/SDL_perl.dll' for module SDL_perl: load_file:The specified module could not be found at C:/Perl/lib/DynaLoader.pm line 229. at C:/Perl/site/lib/SDL.pm line 13

This is the code I'm trying to run. It's copied directly from the tutorial.

#!usr/bin/perl use warnings; use strict; use SDL::App; use SDL::Color; my $app = SDL::App->new( -width => 640, -height => 480, -depth => 16, ); my $color = SDL::Color->new( -r => 0x00, -g => 0x00, -b => 0xff, ); $app->fill( $rect, $color ); $app->update( $rect );


I do have the SDL.dll file, and last time I had this installed it worked fine.

Thanks
