Lately we have been working on cleaning up the XS name spaces of SDL perl. After some bumps and falls we came up with a separated Rect module. Rect is one of the most simple C struct as shown below.
Using the awesome perlobject.map as a reference I was able to create a blessed perl object in XS. So now SDL::Rect->new(...) gave us a blessed reference ready to go. And as an icing it would destroy itself properly no matter where it was used. But once I brought it into our existing code base, garu pointed out the extending it was a little bit of a mess. So far to extend Rect we have to something like below. Any comment or advice would be much appreciated.
Have at it I am a big boy. You can grab the code like this.
Only If you don't already have a local git repo:
mkdir SDL
cd SDL
git init .
Then do this or skip to this if you already have a local git repo
git pull git://github.com/kthakore/SDL_perl.git experimental
