in thread SDL Surfaces and Rectangles

Looking at your link again, it does explain it.

The final blit rectangle is saved in dstrect after all clipping is performed (srcrect is not modified)

That's a huge gotcha that I've not come across in any of the SDL Perl documents I've found.

Thanks++

    No prob. This is what bothers me with SDL and Tk. They bother to include documentation, but its horribly incomplete. Whereas wxPerl forces you to always refer to the external wxWidgets documentation (granted its annotated).

    Hope you send in a bug report :)

      Yes, horrible. I'd like to start working on that myself. That's why I'm trying to get the latest version working. I don't want to be submitting bugs for things that have been fixed.

      I'm going to take a guess that when the src = dst, it doesn't think it needs to copy. The few tests I've tried seem to confirm it.
