I've got the O'Reilly, "Perl Hacks" book by chromatic... in it, the one who contributed Hack #16 claims under the section "Animating with SDL Perl", and I quote (emphasis mine):

"Add Sound and input handling, and you're (mostly) done! Sound is too easy to use to show here; input handling requires the proper monitoring of events reported by an instance of SDL::Event."

It then goes on to give a couple sentences more on input handling, which I'm sure are helpful to someone...

So there you have it... apparently sound was way too trivial to mention in the hack book... which means it should not be at all hard... cuz if it isn't well documented, it must mean that it's trivial.

And, yes, I'm being sarcastic... rolling my eyes... and um... am just a bit jaded.

Perl isn't a multimedia language without some... um... attachments...
