I've successfully used SDL Perl 2.1.0 on my Fedora Linux machine,
including adjusting some existing scripts of my own. I'm now looking at
the new NeHe adaptations to see if I can get texture-mapping working,
which I was unable to get to work previously.
I have found that glRenderMode() and glPickMatrix() are not available,
and I see no glGetInteger*() variations, so the OpenGL "picking" mode
(i.e., mouse hit testing) is impossible to operate. This would
correspond to portions of NeHe demo 32, and is a show-stopper for my
application.
Lastly, the SDL_perl.spec file should be updated to the new
Module::Build procedure, so that we can offer .src.rpm files for cleaner
end-user installation and updating.
