Hi, About two weeks ago I sent the following e-mail, I should have included this address but didn't. Please note that Kenneth Albanowski (KJALB) who is the apparent owner of the OpenGL module has not thus far responded, and that I have been pursuing option 2 outlined below. I will soon (in the next week or two) have a new OpenGL module which will be part of the PDL module distribution, I would like to have a README placed in the OpenGL directory on CPAN pointing interested parties to the proper location for newer OpenGL development, (ie the PDL module). Thanks, Jim > Hi, > > I find myself at a crossroads and seek your input.
