* No way to specify/override the compile and link options which causes problems on systems with multiple OpenGL libraries installed (e.g., 32-bit and 64-bit). * Build may not complete if you do not have the required FreeGLUT or Apple GLUT (on Mac OS X systems). * ActiveState automated PPM builds currently fail due to what appears to be interface detection failures in their build environment. You'll need to use another PPM site or build your own OpenGL: (1) install ASPerl on your system, (2) do ppm install MinGW to get the compile environment, (3) cpan -i OpenGL, and you should be done! * The build may fail if your FreeGLUT installation uses freeglut.h as the name of its include file. This may happen if you have both original GLUT and FreeGLUT on the same system. Edit the Makefile produced and add -DHAVE_FREEGLUT_H to the DEFINE = line and things may compile then. * Configuration and compiling requires an active OpenGL context on non-win32 systems (e.g. a display) * The calling interfaces for OpenGL, GLU, GLUT, GLX, X11, and the perl module routines (names beginning with glp) are in a state of flux and may not be in sync with the current API documentation. * Too many "extra" variants of standard OpenGL functions. Implementation progress with PDL has suggested a way to simplify the bindings a la OpenGL::Simple. TBD. * examples/planets: works but has visual artifacts examples/tk_steal: runs but maybe not correctly * Examples using GLX calls need to be ported to GLUT * Some of the functions taking pointer type arguments have inconsistent usage for the gl*_p() variants: glBufferDataARB_p(target,oga,usage) glBufferSubDataARB_p(target,offset,oga) glColorPointer_p(size, oga) glEdgeFlagPointer_p(oga) glIndexPointerEXT_p(oga) glIndexPointer_p(oga) glNormalPointerEXT_p(oga) glNormalPointer_p(oga) glTexCoordPointerEXT_p(size, oga) glTexCoordPointer_p(size, oga) glVertexPointerEXT_p(size, oga) glVertexPointer_p(size, oga) * OpenGL::RPN operations can segfault. Work is underway to debug the stack issues which appear to be the root cause.
