Sol's Tutorials

When I was struggling with SDL C a while ago, someone recommended Sol's Tutorial to me. It had not only help me understand video in SDL, but I believe my code has improved using Sol's code style. I would like to pass these along to fellow SDL_Perl users too. So here is the Ch 02 code of Sol's Tutorial in SDL_Perl. It will be getting more and more Perly as our team hacks on it. There is more to come!

To use this code you need the new Redesigned SDL_Perl Library
