fellow monks,

i stumbled about the SDL::Library because i want to write a screensaver in perl. the docs are somewhat taciturn. so i decided to create a simple hello world. i assembled this: 

use SDL::App;
use SDL::Rect;
use SDL::Event;
use SDL::Constants;
use SDL::Tool::Font;

my $app = SDL::App->new
(
    -width  => 640,
    -height => 480,
    -depth  => 16,
);

my $rect = SDL::Rect->new
(
    -height => 100,
    -width  => 100,
    -x      => 270,
    -y      => 390,
);

my $f = SDL::Tool::Font->new( -ttfont=>"Courier", );

my %actions = 
(
    SDL_QUIT() => sub { exit(0); },
    SDL_KEYDOWN() => sub { $f->print ($rect, 0, 0, "Key Pressed"); },
);

$app->loop(\%actions);

From what i´ve read this should work, but when i run it perl crashes. The exit code is -1073741819.

my os is winxp, perl is 5.8.6, SDL-library is 2.1
