-So while I am hacking away on v2.4 and <a href="http://github.com/kthakore/SDL_perl/tree/experimental">breaking</a> a lot of things. Here is a link to some more <a href="http://home.comcast.net/%7Eg.f.taylor/GarrysGames.html">games</a> for SDL Perl. These only work in windows now but I will look into bringing them to CPAN (with Garry's permission). <br />

-These where reported by Garry Taylor. Here is the rest of the email:<br />
+<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 />

-<blockquote><i>Hi all,</i><br />
-<i>I hadn't checked this newsgroup in a while and was happy to see </i><br />
-<i>that it still alive and well. I saw that some people had been sharing </i><br />
-<i>some SDL Perl games online, and I had a few to share as well. At </i><br />
-<i>"http://home.comcast.net/~g.f.taylor/GarrysGames.html" you can find four </i><br />
-<i>games I have written as well as a simple flip book program to let a </i><br />
-<i>child play at making animation on the computer. The games are "Toad" (a </i><br />
-<i>Frogger wanna be), "RabbitHat" (like Centipede), "BunnyHunt" (sort of </i><br />
-<i>like Pac-Man) and "Bonk The Buggies". All (with the exception of Toad </i><br />
-<i>which in its very first incarnation was a game I wrote in TRS-80 Basic </i><br />
-<i>back in 1981) were written originally to run on my Windows 3.11 PC for </i><br />
-<i>my little girl so that she could play games which were not quite so </i><br />
-<i>violent as games were starting to become at the time.</i><br />
-<i><br />
-</i><br />
-<i>A few years ago I got the idea of trying to get them to run again </i><br />
-<i>by rewriting them in Perl. The downloads are Windows XP/Vista installs </i><br />
-<i>which include a bare bones Perl environment for running the games (the </i><br />
-<i>installs put the code into its own separate place, and shouldn't </i><br />
-<i>interfere with your existing Perl setups). I did this so that I could </i><br />
-<i>share the games with friends and family who either don't have SDL </i><br />
-<i>installed, don't have Perl installed, or don't do any programming and </i><br />
-<i>just needed something that will run. The code as it currently stands </i><br />
-<i>was not written for general publication, so there are probably places </i><br />
-<i>where the Perl code itself is not always the best looking it could be, </i><br />
-<i>but the games themselves work pretty well. Also, it is worth noting </i><br />
-<i>that I wound up being lazy and made a few additions to the Perl SDL code </i><br />
-<i>that I was using to add an additional function or two for printing text </i><br />
-<i>onto the screen that was centered or right aligned.</i><br />
-<i><br />
-</i><br />
-<i>While I have not made any Unix installs for the code, I have </i><br />
-<i>actually run the games on a few Linux machines that I have access to, </i><br />
-<i>where I also had installed SDL. I have not updated my SDL installs in </i><br />
-<i>several years now, so there may be complications that arise if running </i><br />
-<i>it with a new version of SDL.</i><br />
-<i><br />
-</i><br />
-<i>I hope you enjoy the games (or at least aren't too mean about it </i><br />
-<i>if you don't).</i><br />
