Thanks for the link. CHM/OpenGL- is disabled in win32

I've tried to build 0.64_002 manually, it fails, but it did copy dll file to my
ActivePerl site/bin.
Then 0.64 had no problems with building and testing.
I don't think that FreeGLUT is available in ActiveState
perl distributions.
No, it's definitely not.
Any suggestions for CPAN Tester
appropriate way to get and (temporarily) install library
dependencies are welcome.
The best and easier way is to copy freeglut.dll to blib\arch\auto\OpenGL
It will not interfere with other versions (if any), and Dynaloader will use this directory first when trying to load
OpenGL.dll
Both (n)make install and make_ppm should process this correctly and place it to
site\lib\auto\OpenGL
Static linking is a good option too, if it's possible. While trying to build some modules for my PPM Repository, I've
changed them to use static linking, and it worked great. Yes, it makes dll bigger, but -- THANK GOD IT'S 2011! -- nobody
cares about disk size anymore.
