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. <br /><br /><script src="http://gist.github.com/185940.js"></script><br /><br />Using the awesome <a href="http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/DMR/CookBookB-19960430/perlobject.map">perlobject.map</a> as a reference I was able to create a <a href="http://github.com/kthakore/SDL_perl/blob/a1b835c168ec184abc01edbc01862ffa15624c26/lib/SDL/Rect.pm">blessed perl</a> object in <a href="http://github.com/kthakore/SDL_perl/blob/a1b835c168ec184abc01edbc01862ffa15624c26/src/Rect.xs">XS</a>. 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.<br /><br /><br /><script src="http://gist.github.com/185938.js"></script><br /><br /><br />Have at it I am a big boy. You can grab the code like this.<br />Only If you don't already have a local git repo:<br /><br /><blockquote>mkdir SDL<br />cd SDL<br />git init .</blockquote><br />Then do this or skip to this if you already have a local git repo<br /><blockquote>git pull git://github.com/kthakore/SDL_perl.git experimental</blockquote><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3102167581424744259-3340771783563950133?l=yapgh.blogspot.com'/></div></div>

+SDL Perl 2.511 is showing great promises. The initial tests show a great deal of stability. <a href="http://search.cpan.org/~kthakore/SDL-2.511/">http://search.cpan.org/~kthakore/SDL-2.511/</a><br />
+<br />
+ Moreover we are seeing more varied users of SDL Perl.<br />

+This is for a tool that we'll be providing our dealers... it measures cellular modem signal strengths out in the middle of nowhere, so dealers can evaluate if our products will work in customers' fields. And of course, I'm using Perl/SDL for the graphics... C gets on my nerves.<br />
