Perl Gaming?

I think i’m going to do this competition. No, like really this time. I’ve yet to complete an LD48, though I have about 3 half-games sitting around from previous competitions . Thing is, I’ve been programming a lot due to my job, but almost entirely in Perl, so I’m all rusty with Python/Pygame, C++/DirectX or C#/XNA which are my typical choices for a game.
Does anyone have experience making a game in perl? It’s not a very common use for the language, and I really haven’t heard of any mature game/graphic libraries for it. If I don’t find anything better I’ll probably just use the SDL bindings . It’d be nice if these was something similar to PyGame available though.
