<p>SDL, the Simple DirectMedia Layer, is a cross-platform multimedia library.
These are the Perl 5 bindings. You can find out more about SDL at

<p>Creating an SDL application with Perl is easy. You have to know a few basics,
though. Here's how to get up and running as quickly as possible.</p>

<p>All graphics in SDL live on a surface. You'll need at least one. That's what

<p>Of course, before you can get a surface, you need to initialize your video
mode. SDL gives you several options, including whether to run in a window or
take over the full screen, the size of the window, the bit depth of your
