I will redouble my effort to do <a href="http://github.com/kthakore/SDL_perl/commit/e504c139e12e5592b5694292bb1882ee78b65b28">this</a>. </p><br /><p>However I am not sure where to start updating docs. Has anyone re-documented old modules before? Any advice? If anyone is interested in helping me to sort out documentation please contact me on sdl-devel@perl.org.

+<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 />
