I'm happy to announce a CPAN developers release of PDL-2.4.4_09 and OpenGL-0.58_004 supporting the TriD refactoring work. Both distributions should be at a CPAN mirror near you soon. Check for downloads at
http://search.cpan.org/~chm/ You'll need to install the OpenGL-0.58_004 or greater (i.e. from pogl git) to build the new PDL developers release. By default, USE_POGL is set in the perldl.conf file to enable the new code. It should be a work-alike to the old code. Please test and report if that is not the case or if you are unable to build either module. For full back compatibility, setting USE_POGL to 0 will enable the legacy code mode using the PDL::PP OpenGL bindings and the X11+GLX based window and events. Once this code is stable, the final stage of the TriD refactoring is to replace X11+GLX window and context creation and X11 event handling by GLUT windows and callback based event handling. That should enable TriD operation on MS Windows systems and on Mac OS X systems without an active X server. NOTE: PDL-2.4.4_09 will only work on Mac OS X in GLX mode so you'll need to have installed the X packages for TriD to work. POGL should build just fine, with or without X11.
