-<div style="text-align: right;"><i>A seed needs soft soil and water to grow</i></div><div style="text-align: right;"></div>This is a reply to <a href="http://szabgab.com/blog/2009/09/1251862435.html">szabgab's</a> post on how to get newbies interested in Perl modules. Being a newbie in Perl myself I thought I should take a shot.<br /><br />I was thinking you can make projects more accessible to newbies by having a step by step plan included with where they need to look. For example for docs of SDL_perl:<br /><ol><li>Look at SDL docs [<a href="http://www.libsdl.org/cgi/docwiki.cgi/SDL_API_by_name">link</a>]</li><li>See where SDL_perl is using the same functions [<a href="http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/KTHAKORE/SDL_Perl-v2.2.2.11/src/SDL.xs">link</a>] and the docs to this file [<a href="http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/KTHAKORE/SDL_Perl-v2.2.2.11/lib/SDL.pm">link</a>]</li><li>Use the pod format to add it to the source [<a href="http://perldoc.perl.org/perlpod.html">link to using pod</a>]</li><li>{BONUS} Come up with tutorial or cookbook [<a href="http://search.cpan.org/%7Edrolsky/Moose-0.89/lib/Moose/Cookbook.pod">link to example</a>]</li><li>Submit code to github [<a href="http://github.com/guides/home">link</a>] or email them to me [<a href="mailto:kthakore@cpan.org">link</a>]<br /></li></ol><br />Basically assume nothing is known. I know this may seem demeaning but I am a newbie to Perl and sometimes I hate looking for crust (docs). I call it crust because a crust is useful for me to eat a pizza slice, but it has no flavor .<br /><br /><i>--yapgh </i><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3102167581424744259-581981098917545448?l=yapgh.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div></div></div>

+So a new alpha is out on <a href="http://search.cpan.org/~kthakore/SDL-2.3_5/">CPAN</a>, after a bit of a break. We are trying to pick up our speed again. Hopefully we can get back to the weekly updates. This week I am going to try to get Mixer and TTF bindings test, redesigned and doc'd. Hopefully soon we can start working on Frozen Bubble, as things are starting to come together. This alpha release has finally given us a good implementation of SDL Timers. Also <a href="http://daniel.ruoso.com/categoria/perl/games-perl-1">Daniel Ruoso</a> has also started a series blog posts of making games with SDL Perl. Hopefully this can get more people in SDL, cause we can sure use the help!<br />
