SDL::TTFont troubles

Hi all,

This is my first post on this list, so take it easy on me k?  ;-)


Anyway, I updated my SDL Perl install (and dependencies) last night;
everything save SDL::TTFont seems to working great...

Whenever I try to create an SDL::TTFont object, for example with:
 my $title = new SDL::TTFont(-name => "./Vera.ttf", -size => 18);

my app dies and I get this error:
 TTF error at TTFSizeText:
 TTF error

Doesn't seem to matter which .ttf file I use, or what size I specify.
Every call to SDL::TTFont->new fails.  I see in BUGS
(http://github.com/kthakore/SDL_perl/blob/master/BUGS) that there is a
known issue related to UTF-8 and SDL::TTFont::width, however AFAIK I'm
not using UTF-8.

Any suggestions would be most appreciated.


One other item... The SDL::TTFont pod's synopsis looks like:
 $font = new TTFont -name => "Utopia.ttf", -size => 18;

I suspect that should be: new SDL::TTFont

Cheers!
