sdl stands for Simple DirectMedia Layer. It is a cross-platform library for game programming. Bindings for the sdl library are available for all popular languages including perl and python. frozen-bubble is probably the best known game that uses sdl and the perl bindings for sdl were authored by the game writers. George Geller's SATimer is written in python and uses sdl.

installation

You may be able to install SDL and the perl bindings using CPAN. Don't try. It is very hard. Instead, use your package manage (yum or apt-get) to install frozen-bubble.
