Developing games with Perl and SDL on Ars Technica written by Andy Bakun http://arstechnica.com/gaming/news/2006/02/games-perl.ars

Note this is old.

- -

A Little History

- -

Why are these pages new? -In October, -David Göhrig, -the creator and maintainer of SDL Perl, -announced that he was quitting his job, -selling all his stuff, -and going backpacking in Europe for a few months. -That left SDL Perl without a maintainer or a home. -But SDL Perl is back and running with Kartik and David's help.

- -

Future Plans

- -

We're working on polishing the latest code available to make the v2.5 release. -Here is the roadmap so far. - -http://wiki.github.com/cthulhuology/SDLPerl

- -

Hopefully, -Perl will soon be a wonderful language in which to write media applications -- including games.
