It had not only help me understand video in SDL, but I believe my code has improved using Sol's code style. I would like to pass these along to fellow SDL_Perl users too. So here is the <a href="http://github.com/kthakore/SDL_perl/blob/redesign/examples/sols/ch02.pl">Ch 02</a> code of Sol's Tutorial in SDL_Perl. It will be getting more and more Perly as our team hacks on it.  There is more to come!<br /></p><br /><p>To use this code you need the new Redesigned SDL_Perl Library </p><br /><h1>Getting SDL Dependencies </h1><br />Only If you are on Linux (debian/ubuntu) you need the following dependencies:<br /><br /><pre>$ sudo apt-get install libsdl-net1.2-dev libsdl-mixer1.2-dev libsmpeg-dev libsdl1.2-dev libsdl-image1.2-dev libsdl-ttf2.0-dev </pre><br />On Windows we recommend using <a href="http://strawberryperl.com/">Strawberry Perl</a>.
