...and should be appearing at a CPAN mirror near
you soon.
This is the first official release of the new
OpenGL::Modern with bindings to *all* OpenGL API
versions from 1.0 to 4.5.
While it is still a work in progress, it provides
bindings to 1263 OpenGL routines taking scalar
input arguments (or none) and returning scalar
values (or none). These are believed to be fully
correct and usable. (Compare this with about 300
as implemented in the OpenGL module!)
The remaining routines all take or return some
flavor of pointer argument (including arrays).
These routines are indicated in the bindings by
a '_c' suffix to the OpenGL base name. While
the bindings are technically correct, you'll
need to hand construct the needed inputs from
the perl level to call these successfully.
For some help with this, see the documentation
for OpenGL::Modern::Helpers, e.g.,
perldoc -m OpenGL::Modern::Helpers
This shows some usage tricks to call the '_c' bindings.
For additional help, feel free to post at the Perl
OpenGL Mailing lists (see https://sourceforge.net/p/pogl/mailman/
for Archives and to Subscribe).
You can also try the #pogl chat at irc.perl.org or

Thanks to all who have contributed for this
release with special thanks to Christian Walde
for keeping hope alive for modern opengl support,
to Max Maischein for kickstarting the implementation
with autogenerated code from the GLEW library files.
Enjoy!
