Mac PPC testers needed: PerlMagick + Perl OpenGL (POGL)

I've posted new builds on the POGL Developer's Site
http://graphcomp.com/opengl/downloads:
  • OpenGL-0.55_04
  • OpenGL-Image-0.00_02
These modules use PerlMagick to:
  • Load images as textures or FBOs.
  • Load data for VBOs.
  • Dynamically modify OpenGL frames.
  • Capture/save OpenGL frames.
This leverages new PerlMagick APIs that provide direct access to IM's image cache - providing significant performance improvement over using blobs.

I've received numerous confirmations that this works on Linux and Windows (intel + nvidia); however, I haven't back from any Mac developers. I need testers for Mac (intel/ppc) and other big endian machines.

You'll need to:
  • install Perl, OpenGL, and GLUT.
  • build/install ImageMagick 6.3.5 beta from source.
  • build/install the above POGL modules.
Any feedback/suggestions would be much appreciated!
