I am not sure whether it was on mistake, by accident, a bugfix or anything 
else, because it was such a long time ago and my memory is spotty. But I am 
pretty sure I didn't break any API on purpose, especially not on purpose to 
break FB. (Yes, I should have tested with it. Sorry.)

However, I am no longer involved in the SDL_Perl develoment at all, so I 
cannot make promised or comment further on things.

best wishes,

tels
