-SDL perl is coming to Strawberry!! +Newbie Friendly Perl Projects

I am a part of all that I have met. --Alfred Tennyson
 
I hope I am not jumping the gun but it looks good.  This is all thanks to kmx!!

Here is an obligatory pic since my last post on this matter. (That is one of the test script you can run for test/ in the distrobution).



You can follow the history here.

It has been tested on winXP 32/64 bit strawberry so far. Here is how you can get it.

  1. Go here to get the code 
  2. Click download, choose .tar.gz
  3. Save the resultant kthakore....tar.gz somewhere
  4. Get this and extract it on C:/strawberry/
  5. Last do pip kthakore......tar.gz (I find this so amazing!!)
  6. Play with C:/strawberry/cpan/build/SDL/test/*.pl 
Enjoy

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

+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 .
