The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: SDL
DSLIP: Rmchl
description: Simple DirectMedia Layer Perl Interface
userid: DGOEHRIG (David J. Goehrig)
chapterid: 8 (User_Interfaces)
communities:
[EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.sdlperl.org
similar:
SDL is the root of the SDL_perl-1.18.1, SDL-sdlpl-1.08 packages
rationale:
SDL, the Simple DirectMedia Layer, is a cross platform library for
developing multimedia applications and games. SDL is the obvious
root for the namespace, as it is the traditional abbrev. for the
interfaced library.
This module is the defacto SDL perl interface, as in the two years
of existence not single effective alternative has arisen. Both I and
Wayne Keenan have alternated maintainership roles, and there is a
healthy development community contributing to it. It has also been
used by games such as Guillaume Cotenceau's Frozen Bubble
http://www.frozen-bubble.org and already has reached a large
audience already.
I am requesting to have SDL added to the module list on behalf of
the dozen or so people who have mailed me recently asking why it
isn't in CPAN. SDL is a natural candidate for a low level namespace
as it encompases a number of additional modules which manage related
libraries for handling images, sound effects, audio playback, mpeg
movie playback, OpenGL, True Type Fonts, networking, graphics
manipulation, and others.
I'd be happy to answer any other questions,
