Greetings Monks,

I am apprentice currently working on updating the SDL_perl module.

Here is my work so far: source
working Download of SDL_perlv2.1.3

The biggest obstacle right now is to provide a consistent cross platform Build. The reason is that the XS components need to be compiled on the host machine. However the SDL libraries and headers that we bind to are being difficult because they can be installed in varying ways. One potential solution I have seen is in a GSoC idea.

Here is the idea: perl + parrot NCI

How would NCI work for perl5 ? How would we even approach this? Any wisdom pertaining to the pros and cons of this idea? Where should we begin?

P.S. Here is our proposed roadmap
