I like Perl, i enjoy it, but i want to try out some 3d algorithms with it, without resorting to a homebrew 3d engine based of the non-documented POGL. It will drive me crazy. So please, do you know a documented binding for a 3d game engine or at least a 3d rendering engine? Or at least a game engine that can be scripted with Perl (that would be awesome)

When it comes to scripting and games, Perl is not really the first language that comes to mind. Python, for its large set of modules and standard libraries; Lua, for its easy embedding and clean syntax; even JavaScript, due to being embedded in webbrowsers. All of these come before Perl. So you're not going to find many Perl resources on this score; that's just not what the language is good at. I would suggest investing the time in learning another scripting language if you want to use that language to make games. – Nicol Bolas Feb 8 '12 at 17:24

If you're set on using Perl, I'd continue using POGL. What you'll need to do is first go through the example code they provide to familiarize with the basics, then follow a OpenGL book or tutorial such as arcsynthesis.org/gltut The API should be close enough that you can follow along. Disclaimer: I don't use Perl or POGL, but that strategy works fine for C#/OpenTK or Java/JOGL. – Jimmy Feb 8 '12 at 19:08
