Is there an SDL module for Perl?

In Fedora 12, you can use

yum install perl-SDL

and there's a good tutorial at

the 2.3.x releases will become 2.4 soon and that will be the supported version. The 2.2.x versions are still around, for games like Frozen Bubble, but get 2.2.3 or 2.2.4, not 2.2.6 (Fatal memory errors)
MkV

If you mean Simple DirectMedia Library bindings, yes.

ooh, thanks for the link! I was wondering where to find documentation. http://sdl.perl.org/documentation.html

Always go to CPAN Search when you wonder if a module exists.

In this case, there is an SDL module, and I even got it working on Snow Leopard. The development of the Mac packages has been quite busy lately. You can help out by participating through the SDL Github project.
