Yeah, I'm not saying windows is bad or that I don't use it -- although technically I hate it -- I'm just saying it's developer unfriendly. I use it quite a bit myself and even built an active repo: https://voltar.org/active/. I find building things under win32 to be pretty painful so I lost interest in strawberry really fast (favoring downloading PPDs instead).
But I'm under the impression that you can install active ppds under strawberry, so ... perhaps I should give it another look.

I could not find any active perl-sdl mailing list, so I posted on the sdl mailing list (http://lists.libsdl.org/pipermail/sdl-libsdl.org/2008-June/) which seems quite busy.
I found some ppds for Perl 5.8 which refused to install under 5.10 and I really don't want to go back to 5.8. Also, I don't want to use ActivePerl, since I am happy using Strawberry. In any case, SDL seems to be broken for ActivePerl (see http://ppm.activestate.com/BuildStatus/5.8-S.html and http://ppm.activestate.com/BuildStatus/5.10-S.html).

Well, that doesn't really count for much... they only try to build once and don't bother installing the required libs or anything. I'd look for a 3rd party repo before I gave up...
