I believe I'm responsible for one of the branches chromatic was
referring to -- it was actually just a revivification of Tels' 1.20.x
work. My OpenGL/SDL_perl articles made me a lightning rod for people
wanting various features and fixes to go in (not least of which myself).
Since I and others couldn't reach David, I opened a repo with the latest
1.20.x source I could find (Debian's package) and gave commit bits to
anyone who wanted one.
It's available here:
http://svn.openfoundry.org/sdlperl1/trunk/
There are a number of features and fixes in that repo, most dealing with
cross-platform OpenGL bugs/features and better Win32 OpenGL support. I
don't know how many are redundant with the latest 2.x work, and how many
should be brought forward.
For the record, I am INCREDIBLY glad you have created an open repo for
the latest tree, David! It's exactly what the community needed to deal
with this problem of personal copies and distributed branches. I for
one would be happy to see all of my branch's stuff merged and then drop
my repo completely.
I also keep an IRC channel open (#sdlperl) on irc.freenode.net, and
offer it for anyone interested in working on the merges. If there is
already another preferred channel, I will be happy to point people there
instead.
