Comment 1 Hans de Goede 2011-05-18 14:19:47 UTC

The upstream 2.1.3 SDL_Perl tarbal does not contain a Joystick.pm file, neither does the 2.2.6 version. We cannot include that which is not there in the package.

Comment 2 Iain Arnell 2011-05-18 14:39:55 UTC

Upstream seems to have renamed the distribution to SDL rather than SDL_Perl. http://search.cpan.org/~kthakore/SDL-2.532/ does contain SDL::Joystick.

The problem with releases > 2.2.x is that the API has changed and none of the programs in Fedora actually using perl-SDL have been adopted to the new API, which given that the new API is not stable yet (3.0 will be the first release with the new API being stable) is not surprising, see:
