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>

+<h1><a href="http://sol.gfxile.net/gp/index.html">Sol's Tutorials</a> </h1><br />
+<p>When I was struggling with SDL C a while ago, someone recommended <a href="http://sol.gfxile.net/gp/index.html">Sol's Tutorial</a> to me. 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>. It comes with SDL-1.2.13 header files and libs included.<br />
+<br />
+Both Windows and Linux needs to install Alien::SDL<br />
+<br />
+<pre>$ cpan Alien::SDL</pre>** Add sudo to this for Linux<br />
+<br />
+<h1>Getting Bleeding SDL </h1><br />
+The bleeding SDL is on github. Click download on this <a href="http://github.com/kthakore/SDL_perl/tree/redesign"> site </a>.<br />
+<br />
+Extract it and cd into the folder run <br />
+<pre>$ cpan . </pre>** The dot is needed <br />
+** in Linux you may need to do sudo<br />
+<br />
+Then you can run this script by doing<br />
+<br />
+<pre>$ perl examples/sols/ch02.pl </pre><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3102167581424744259-3277380868908060119?l=yapgh.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>
