Greetings fellow monks,

I was hoping I could get some feedback on a module I am creating. It's a Perl interface to DirectX.

I have been working on it for a while now and so far it has been promising. I already have a fairly solid interface built for Direct3D, DirectInput, and DirectSound, although it still needs a lot of work.

So far, the interface is only a thin wrapper around the DirectX methods. In time, I hope to create an interface that is much simpler to use, especially for those who would like to use the module, but have little to no experience with DirectX.

I have been able to integrate it quite well with the Win32::GUI module. This makes the task of creating windows for a DirectX application quite simple.

I hope to eventually have support for as many DirectX components as I can, including older ones.

Any thoughts on the subject would be appreciated, especially from anyone out there who has experience using DirectX.

Thanks,

Kevin.
