Fwd: SDL_Perl Errors

 I built and installed SDL_perl from CPAN last night.  The Build did not
produce any errors, however, test failed in most of the items.  The version
on cpan produce the error (or very similar to) Can't locate a loadable
module for SDL_perl in @INC ( ... ).  After this, it said that there was an
error in require and it said something about an error in BEGIN.  I am at
work now and do not have the exact errors in front of me.

I do have all the prerequisits installed.  They are installed from Gentoo's
Portage, so it is POSSIBLE that perhaps portage built them without a feature
that is required for SDL_perl.

I emerged the version of SDL_perl which was one major behind the CPAN
version I believe and it built without fatals.  perl -e 'use SDL' executed
fine, however the same command with SDL:App produced the error Can't locate
a loadable module for SDL::(some font package.  I don't remember the name
right off).

2 questions then, could these errors be related and what information do you
need to help me troubleshoot this?  Any help or pointers I recieve would
help me a lot.  I plan on posting the exact text of the error message
tonight after I get home, but I got a bit ansy and the thought that someone
might be able to shed some light became too much of a temptation.

Thank you,
Robert Gresham
