Hi everyone,
I've just finished reading Learning Perl by O'Really and I want to learn
something that can give me something more pleasant to work on, something
funny, I want to program some basic games like pong...
For this I've found a book that introduces SDL, but I don't know how to
install all the cpan modules (and other things) needed to run the code
written in this book.
I'm running Mac OS X 10.6.6 and I've run the terminal command "sudo cpan
SDL" but this is not enough and I had some compilation error in some basilar
script like the one down here.

This is the script:

> #!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;

use warnings;

use SDL;

use SDLx::App;


> my $app = SDLx::App->new();


> sleep(2);


And this is the compilation error shown in the terminal:

Can't locate SDL.pm in [at] INC ( [at] INC contains:
> /Library/Perl/Updates/5.10.0/darwin-thread-multi-2level
> /Library/Perl/Updates/5.10.0
> /System/Library/Perl/5.10.0/darwin-thread-multi-2level
> /System/Library/Perl/5.10.0 /Library/Perl/5.10.0/darwin-thread-multi-2level

> /System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.10.0 .) at ./script.pl line 4.

BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./script.pl line 4.


Hope you can help me.

Best Regards,

You have extra ">" in the code that you've given.

Well, first of all, you seem to be missing SDL.pm from the include paths.
Probably the installation wasn't successful. Another issue is that you are
experimenting using the Mac OS X built in perl program, which is not a good
idea. You should install your own perl VM on a different path and use that for
development.

You may wish to try consultin the #sdl IRC channel on irc.perl.org with
further problems ( irc://irc.perl.org/#sdl ).

I would recommend using the IRC chat or SDL mailing list found here:
http://sdl.perl.org/index.html

At least one of the members that is working on the development side is
coding on a Mac as well (Unfortunately I don't remember the name). kthakore
is generally in the IRC channel most of the time and I've found him to be
quite helpful.
