It's never that simple, ever. It appears that I will have to write (well adjust/port the existing) Perl OpenGL module from CPAN to Win32, so that it has no dependancy on X libs, and it uses Win32 calls instead, oh joy....lookng forward to that!

I cant believe it doesn't exist already. Oh well, being at the coal face often results in sidesteps, and in the case of Win32, regressions :)
