After some late night hacking I finally came up with Alias's <a href="http://use.perl.org/%7EAlias/journal/39476">suggestion</a> to have Alien::SDL. All thanks to Alias's&nbsp; generous access to his <a href="http://use.perl.org/%7EAlias/journal/39318">windows farm</a>, I was able to make a easier module to install SDL deps on windows. Future plans are in place to get sources and compile them for other platform.Hopefully a SDL perl release will be out soon to use Alien::SDL now.<br /><br /><br />The above script is in test/testsprite.pl. <br /><br />Until then you can do:<br /><blockquote><br />in cpan<br />cpan&gt;<b> install File::Fetch</b><br />cpan&gt; <b>install Archive::Extract</b><br />cpan&gt; <b>install Alien::SDL</b><br /><br />and in cmd <br /><b>pip http://cloud.github.com/downloads/kthakore/SDL_perl/SDL_Perl-v2.2.2.tar.gz</b></blockquote><br /><br />Please post any feedback here.<br /><br />Enjoy,<br /><i>yapgh</i><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3102167581424744259-8996898299982319327?l=yapgh.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div></div></div>

+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. <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-&gt;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 />

+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' alt='' /></div>
