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.

The original Frozen Bubble http://www.frozen-bubble.org/ is probably the most well known application written in SDL Perl.
