56d4907c 9Recently there was really long <a href="http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.sdl.devel/2009/09/msg1424.html">discussion </a>on sdl-devel@perl.org about providing packages for SDL perl rather than focusing on CPAN releases. The gists of the argument was that SDL perl should be making platform specific packages for end users. I agree with this idea but I do have to face the truth. <br />

56d4907c 11The truth is there are very few developers currently working on SDL Perl. The truth is CPAN provides several tools that which currently drives development for SDL Perl. There are people interested in packaging SDL Perl (<a href="http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=49003">kmx</a>, <a href="http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.sdl.devel/2009/09/msg1433.html">jean</a> and Jerome Quelin). The truth is there are other very <a href="http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=49084">critical areas</a> we can focus on. <br />
