47 | <p>Updated and Working coming soon!!!</p> |
48 | |
49 | <p>Of course, |
50 | if you grab a snapshot and install it, |
51 | not only can you report successes (and probably a few bugs), |
52 | but you can play with the demo program for each tutorial! |
53 | It's very fun.</p> |

68 | <p>Why are these pages new? |
69 | In October, |
70 | David Göhrig, |
71 | the creator and maintainer of SDL Perl, |
72 | announced that he was quitting his job, |
73 | selling all his stuff, |
74 | and going backpacking in Europe for a few months. |
75 | That left SDL Perl without a maintainer or a home. |
76 | But SDL Perl is back and running with Kartik and David's help.</p> |
77 | |

81 | |
82 | <p>We're working on polishing the latest code available to make the v2.5 release. |
83 | Here is the roadmap so far. |

88 | <p>Hopefully, |
89 | Perl will soon be a wonderful language in which to write media applications -- including games.</p> |
