Announcing the official release of OpenGL::GLFW 0.03 perl bindings to GLFW 3.2.1. Please see [https://metacpan.org/pod/OpenGL::GLFW](https://metacpan.org/pod/OpenGL::GLFW) for the more information. I would appreciate anyone trying the module letting me know (this forum topic is fine).

Enjoy,  
Chris

> # OpenGL::GLFW 0.03
> 
> OpenGL::GLFW provides perl bindings to the GLFW3 library.
> 
> This first implementation requires you to have the GLFW  
> library (version 3.2.1) and header files installed and  
> in your compiler search paths. It does use pkg-config so  
> if you have the GLFW libraries built with the glfw3.pc  
> file in your PKG\_CONFIG\_PATH environment or the system  
> defaults location then this module should build.
> 
> Alien::GLFW implementation is on the TODO list.

> ## INSTALLATION
> 
> Assuming that you have GLFW installed on your system and  
> have the includes and library in the standard, system locations,  
> you can manually install this module by typing the following:
> 
> perl Makefile.PL  
> make  
> make test # will run a sample program as final test  
> make install
> 
> or for a much simpler, automated install try
> 
> cpanm OpenGL::GLFW
> 
> ## DEPENDENCIES
> 
> This module provides a more modern, lighter-weight window and  
> system interaction interface compared to OpenGL::GLUT. You  
> can use OpenGL or OpenGL::Modern for perl bindings to OpenGL.
