Perl OpenGL Users and Developers-

This CPAN developers release should be appearing at a mirror near you soon.
The release largely comprises work by Bob Free that adds a lot of updates to
the POGL module.  If the developers release checks out then I plan to merge
into the main tree and push out a new stable version.

The one outstanding problem I have is that the test.pl example program
ends with a timeout in the make test stage and a resulting failure message
for cygwin:

 > Idle timeout; completing test
 > Makefile:1113: recipe for target 'test_dynamic' failed
 > make: *** [test_dynamic] Error 9

I'm at a loss as to how to fix the problem and would welcome help there.
Also, there are a number of additions to support more modern OpenGL
features in this release that may be of interest or may affect previous
work in that direction.  Feedback on issues there are needed before the
final merge.

Thanks much,
Chris
