Well, I'll let you know if I have any more problems with it.  I'm going
to try to make a editor/debugger for Befunge and Trefunge with it. :)

Yes, that fixed it.

Writing Makefile for Gtk2::GLExt


"make test" still works, and so does example.pl.sdl.

"make" produces quite a few manpages now:

blib/man3/Gtk2::Gdk::GLExt::Query.3pm
blib/man3/Gtk2::Gdk::GLExt::Window.3pm
blib/man3/Gtk2::Gdk::GLExt::Init.3pm
blib/man3/Gtk2::Gdk::GLExt::Drawable.3pm
blib/man3/Gtk2::GLExt::Widget.3pm
blib/man3/Gtk2::GLExt.3pm
blib/man3/Gtk2::Gdk::GLExt::Shapes.3pm
blib/man3/Gtk2::Gdk::GLExt::Font.3pm

blib/man3/Gtk2::Gdk::GLExt::Pixmap.3pm
blib/man3/Gtk2::Gdk::GLExt::Config.3pm
blib/man3/Gtk2::Gdk::GLExt::Context.3pm

(My original workaround, commenting out the do_pod_files() call, only
built one manpage: blib/man3/Gtk2::GLExt.3pm.)

I'd like to learn a little more about the module.  Is there a TODO list?
 What else do you think it needs, to bring it to 1.0?  (And is there
some kind of frontend module that uses it, to consolidate the fact that
there are 3 APIs depending on which OpenGL module you use?)
