-1 August 2009
+ SDL-1.2.8
+
+ Recommended:
+ SDL_image
+ SDL_mixer
+ SDL_ttf
+ smpeg
+
+ Optional Libraries:
+ *SDL_gfx
+ *SDL_sound
+ *SDL_net
+ *SDL_svg
+ *SDL_vnc
+
+Additionally the following Perl modules should be installed:
+
+ Alien-SDL-0.2
+ Module-Build-0.22
+ Test-Simple-0.62
+
+Installation:
+
+ perl Build.PL
+ ./Build
+ ./Build test
+ ./Build bundle # MacOS X only!
+ ./Build install
+
+Installation with Windows (Strawberry) :
+
+ perl Build.PL
+ ./Build
+ ./Build test
+ ./Build install
+
+
+The build process will use the new Module::Build facility
+to auto detect and build SDL Perl for your platform. If
+the build fails please forward bugs to sdl-devel@perl.org.
+
+For MacOS X users there is a new experimental bundle,
+that is called SDLPerl.app. You can use this bundle
+to run perl scripts with a .spl extension, you know,
+SDL Perl files. We will work on brining this style
+launcher and an integrated development environment to
+all platforms shortly.
+
+Documentation:
+
+Each module now includes its own documentation, and
+is accessible through perldoc. Additional tutorials,
+code, and tips can be found at the website:
+
+ http://sdl.perl.org
+
+Online documentation and tutorials are available through
+perldoc module.
+
+Contributing:
+
+Anyone wishing to contribute modules, sprite engines, documentation,
+and anything else that others might find useful, please join
+the mailing list:
+
+ sdl-devel@perl.org
+
+This is a mailing list for those interested in SDLperl development,
+both as an applications developer, and as a core contributor.
+
+I am always more than happy to take patches, bug reports, and
+helpful suggestions. It is feedback, both good and poor, that
+keeps projects like this going.

+Enjoy,
