I feel that pkg-perl-tool might be slightly off-topic but I don't want to rule out that a Perl games developer also intends to package the game or interact with Perl upstream and/or the Perl team later on. I think Suggests is fine. Basically I want to answer the following questions with »games-perl-dev«: I want to develop games in Perl. What game related Perl software does Debian offer? What recommended editors or integrated development environments exist for Perl and are there example games written in Perl from which I can learn from? I know about frozen-bubbles and pangzero which I have both suggested as example games. I'm not so sure about specific editors or IDEs for Perl. However for Java development Eclipse is very common hence I can recommend it with a good conscience. I also know that there are Perl modules for SDL, Ogre, OIS or OpenGL but I might have missed another important one. If you know which one, I would appreciate your feedback. Cheers, Markus
