-<div style="text-align: right;"><i>A seed needs soft soil and water to grow</i></div><div style="text-align: right;"></div>This is a reply to <a href="http://szabgab.com/blog/2009/09/1251862435.html">szabgab's</a> post on how to get newbies interested in Perl modules. Being a newbie in Perl myself I thought I should take a shot.<br /><br />I was thinking you can make projects more accessible to newbies by having a step by step plan included with where they need to look. For example for docs of SDL_perl:<br /><ol><li>Look at SDL docs [<a href="http://www.libsdl.org/cgi/docwiki.cgi/SDL_API_by_name">link</a>]</li><li>See where SDL_perl is using the same functions [<a href="http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/KTHAKORE/SDL_Perl-v2.2.2.11/src/SDL.xs">link</a>] and the docs to this file [<a href="http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/KTHAKORE/SDL_Perl-v2.2.2.11/lib/SDL.pm">link</a>]</li><li>Use the pod format to add it to the source [<a href="http://perldoc.perl.org/perlpod.html">link to using pod</a>]</li><li>{BONUS} Come up with tutorial or cookbook [<a href="http://search.cpan.org/%7Edrolsky/Moose-0.89/lib/Moose/Cookbook.pod">link to example</a>]</li><li>Submit code to github [<a href="http://github.com/guides/home">link</a>] or email them to me [<a href="mailto:kthakore@cpan.org">link</a>]<br /></li></ol><br />Basically assume nothing is known. I know this may seem demeaning but I am a newbie to Perl and sometimes I hate looking for crust (docs). I call it crust because a crust is useful for me to eat a pizza slice, but it has no flavor .<br /><br /><i>--yapgh </i><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3102167581424744259-581981098917545448?l=yapgh.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div></div></div>

+<ol><li>MacOSX build is working again. It's still rough but Tetris works on it now. dngor++</li>
+<li><a href="http://search.cpan.org/%7Ekthakore/SDL-Tutorial-Tetris-0.015/">SDL::Tutorial::Tetris</a> is on CPAN as v0.15. nferraz++</li>
+<li><a href="http://github.com/m4gnet/SDL_perl/commit/9957e76f888ac71a911e3a71c2783141748d2387">SDL Perl docs</a> are a little better now. magnet++</li>
+<li>Finally experimental <a href="http://github.com/kthakore/SDL_perl/tree/experimental">Rect and Game::Rect</a> are behaving. There is still more work needed in Game::Rect. Moreover there are more tests on the experimental release. garu++</li>
+<li>Also POGL is <a href="http://sdlperl.pastebin.com/f78b8c1b9">working</a> experimentally with SDL. <br />
+</li>
+</ol>Hopefully I can get the first three results into the next release soon. The next release 2.2.3 will go up as a developmental release first. Also the experimental branch is going up as version 2_4.<br />

+<h1>Developers</h1>All developers please tell me what to put you guys want to be put down as on the <br />
