Perl and OpenGL

OpenGL
1

is there anyway that Perl can be written with OpenGL? Or do you have to use C/C++. I’am working on a Final Fantasy type game for Linux. Where can I download OpenGL, or do I have to buy it?

I want to write the game in Perl with some ( as few as possible ) C system calls.
Thanks for your help in advance.

At the bottom on this page will you find perl bindings for OpenGL and glut. http://www.r3.nu/

OpenGL is a low level library so combining it with something like perl is crazy in my opinion.

Nvidia has great OpenGL drivers for all their cards from TNT and up. ATi has drivers for their later cards. There is a DRI project with drivers for some other cards. http://dri.sourceforge.net/

For game creation you’ll be probably better using directly SDL bindings (http://www.sdlperl.org/).
