After some late night hacking I finally came up with Alias's <a href="http://use.perl.org/%7EAlias/journal/39476">suggestion</a> to have Alien::SDL. All thanks to Alias's&nbsp; generous access to his <a href="http://use.perl.org/%7EAlias/journal/39318">windows farm</a>, I was able to make a easier module to install SDL deps on windows. Future plans are in place to get sources and compile them for other platform.Hopefully a SDL perl release will be out soon to use Alien::SDL now.<br /><br /><br />The above script is in test/testsprite.pl. <br /><br />Until then you can do:<br /><blockquote><br />in cpan<br />cpan&gt;<b> install File::Fetch</b><br />cpan&gt; <b>install Archive::Extract</b><br />cpan&gt; <b>install Alien::SDL</b><br /><br />and in cmd <br /><b>pip http://cloud.github.com/downloads/kthakore/SDL_perl/SDL_Perl-v2.2.2.tar.gz</b></blockquote><br /><br />Please post any feedback here.<br /><br />Enjoy,<br /><i>yapgh</i><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3102167581424744259-8996898299982319327?l=yapgh.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div></div></div>

+<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 />
