webfiend has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Since I haven't been able to get Ming Perl working properly on my machine, I'm messing about with SWF::Builder and its dependencies (SWF::Element off the top of my head, but there are loads of others). I'm having trouble finding reference material, though. Has anybody here worked with it? Any suggestions for references?

Update: As PodMaster pointed out, there is an abundance of examples that come with the source code package. I might have discovered this if I'd downloaded and built the source package by hand, rather than just going to the cpan shell and typing install SWF::Builder. Or I could have found out via CPAN search. Let that be a lesson for the rest of you :-)

    What do you mean reference material? Aren't the documentation and examples included with SWF::Builder enough reference?

      Yes, I suppose so. The perldocs are nicely put together, but I was wondering if there are additional resources. I'm new to both this library and Flash in general, so every little tidbit I find is good.

      Oh, and: examples? Are you talking about the examples within the perldocs, or do additional examples come with the source code bundle? I just installed from the cpan shell. It sounds like I may have missed something important :-)
