Perl OpenGL (POGL) is one of many wrapper libraries that allow OpenGL to be used in the Perl programming language.
POGL allows access to most features available to C programming language programmers, including window-system related calls in GLUT.
POGL provides additional Perl-friendly APIs for passing/returning strings and arrays.
