-Newbie Friendly Perl Projects +New build system! Needs testing!

A seed needs soft soil and water to grow
This is a reply to szabgab's post on how to get newbies interested in Perl modules. Being a newbie in Perl myself I thought I should take a shot.

Rome was not built,
+in one day,
 feature creep,
+existed back then too.

kmx++ recently worked on a brand new Build system for Alien::SDL and SDL_perl. We have managed to test it in Windows and Linux environments. We would still appreciate testing on all environments. However none of us have a shiny Mac to try this on. So if you have a Mac please consider testing the following:

+
  • Download Alien::SDL 
  • + +
    • install it
    • +
    • select build by source
    • +
    +
  • Download SDL::perl
  • + +
    • Extract it
    • +
    • perl Build.PL
    • +
    • perl Build
    • +
    • See if Bundling works ( Maybe Brian's article may help )
    • +
Thank you very much!

-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:
-
  1. Look at SDL docs [link]
  2. -
  3. See where SDL_perl is using the same functions [link] and the docs to this file [link]
  4. -
  5. Use the pod format to add it to the source [link to using pod]
  6. -
  7. {BONUS} Come up with tutorial or cookbook [link to example]
  8. -
  9. Submit code to github [link] or email them to me [link]
    -
  10. -

-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 .
