It had not only help me understand video in SDL, but I believe my code has improved using Sol's code style. I would like to pass these along to fellow SDL_Perl users too. So here is the <a href="http://github.com/kthakore/SDL_perl/blob/redesign/examples/sols/ch02.pl">Ch 02</a> code of Sol's Tutorial in SDL_Perl. It will be getting more and more Perly as our team hacks on it. There is more to come!<br /></p><br /><p>To use this code you need the new Redesigned SDL_Perl Library </p><br /><h1>Getting SDL Dependencies </h1><br />Only If you are on Linux (debian/ubuntu) you need the following dependencies:<br /><br /><pre>$ sudo apt-get install libsdl-net1.2-dev libsdl-mixer1.2-dev libsmpeg-dev libsdl1.2-dev libsdl-image1.2-dev libsdl-ttf2.0-dev </pre><br />On Windows we recommend using <a href="http://strawberryperl.com/">Strawberry Perl</a>. It comes with SDL-1.2.13 header files and libs included.<br /><br />Both Windows and Linux needs to install Alien::SDL<br /><br /><pre>$ cpan Alien::SDL</pre>** Add sudo to this for Linux<br /><br /><h1>Getting Bleeding SDL </h1><br />The bleeding SDL is on github.

+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 />

+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 />
