Sdl_perl

This is SDL_perl 1.19.2 for amigaos 4.0.
It requires the latest release of perl for amigaos4 on os4depot (5.8.5.03)

It was written by David J. Goehrig ported by Andy Broad starting from some
initial work by Alex Carmona.

This archive contains both the "traditional" perl distro adapted to amigaos4 and
a pre built archive. This is built against SDL 1.2.6 amd SDL_Mixer 1.2.5 rather
than the later versions that came with the SDK.

If you do not have these libraries or the full amigaos SDK installed then
install by
copying the contents of the directory SDK into your perl distribution.

If you do have the correct libraries installed you may build from scratch. You
also will
want to do this if you have reconfigured your perl distribution and built from
source.

To install from scratch you must have the full Amigaos SDK.

To install as a dynamic extention:-
Unpack the archive and cd to the top directory, the same as this readme.

Type
sh
perl Makefile.PL -GL
make dynamic
make test_dynamic
make install

This will install the required files in site_perl directory in your configured
perl installation.

The above tecnique is recomended as it updates varaious databases in the perl
installation
but if this doesn't work for you or you can't handle the idea of building for
yourself
(we're not all developers :-)) then copy the contents of the directory SDK into
your SDK assign, this assumes that you have installed the binary distribution
 of perl unchanged.
