-README for SDL_Perl-2.2.0
+NAME
+ SDL_perl - Simple DirectMedia Layer for Perl
-What's New in 2.2.0:
+SYNOPSIS
+ use SDL;
-SDL_Perl-2.2.0 adds support for a few new modules, fixes a few more
-bugs, and improves the error handling of the object layer. Additional
-support for SDL_sound, SDL_svg, and SDL_vnc has been added. In the
-OO layer, all constructors now die when they fail to construct an object
-with a valid underlying datastructure pointer.
+DESCRIPTION
+ SDL_perl is a package of perl modules that provides both functional and
+ object orient interfaces to the Simple DirectMedia Layer for Perl 5.
+ This package does take some liberties with the SDL API, and attempts to
+ adhere to the spirit of both the SDL and Perl. This document describes
+ the low-level functional SDL_perl API. For the object oriented
+ programming interface please see the documentation provided on a per
+ class basis.
