Default OpenGL on Windows pretty much sucks. The solution at the C level is to use Intel's GLsdk library to make all of the extensions appear as normal callable functions. They can then be wrapped in XS and called from Perl normally. > I use Perl 5.8 installed on Windows XP with the OpenGL- and > SDL-ppm from the bribes-repository. Google pointed me to a repo at bribes.org; I assume this is what you are referring to. This appears to be SDL_perl 2.x; see below. > Anyone have textures running in Perl? A group of us had GLsdk, textures, and a number of bug fixes in my old fork of 1.20.x. It was started with a cross merge of Tels' and Debian's 1.20.x source trees, and then developed from there. Upstream (David) has expressed interest in reintegrating the improvements made in the 1.20.x forks into the 2.x series, but unfortunately my RL commitments have gotten in the way of merging our changes back to the 2.x series. Do you have XS skills, and willingness to contribute them to the fork merge? > Regards, > MD -'f
