Re: Textures running in Perl

Sorry, the only thing I realy want is showing a simple texture on my
already made Perl/OpenGL object. That's all actually. What is the
shortest way to achieve? Contributing?
Are there workarounds in SDL or what else do I need? The rest I can
figure out. Just the texture is needed now. I had it working with VC++6
perfectly. So that covers the Windows-part I guess. It should be able
to work on Windows.

Regards,
MD
