Together, these modules abstract OpenGL ARB, Cg and GLSL shading languages, simplifying the use of 3D vertex/fragment shaders, and increasing portability between various GPUs.

The POGL team adds new APIs to PerlMagick 6.3.5 to provide direct C pointer access to IM's image cache - resulting in tight OpenGL / ImageMagick integration, and significant increase in perfromance.

In parallel, the POGL team also releases OpenGL::Image, which abstracts loading/processing/saving images for OpenGL textures, FBOs and VBOs.

PyOpenGL's author explains why OpenGL is slower on Python than Perl.

Graphcomp hosts and launches the official POGL developer site, with documentation tutorials, and 3D galleries.

The POGL team submits Perl OpenGL 0.55 to CPAN.

This release adds support for MacOSX, FreeBSD and 52 new openGL extensions - including VBO, FBO and Vertex/Fragment Program extensions.

Bob Free is made the primary owner of CPAN's Perl OpenGL module.

Free has been developing 3D systems since 1973, and has been doing object-oriented Perl development since 1995.

O'Reilly's Perl.com site posts a Lightning Article describing the benefits of using Perl OpenGL.
