[Bioperl-l] Perl 3D OpenGL

[Shameer Khadar]

Hi,
Open-GL/3D contributions are always welcome !!!
What about Perl-OpenGL/3D implimentation of a web-based 3D-Viewer like Jmol.

 http://jmol.sourceforge.net/

(So we dont need to worry about Java installation and stuffs :) develop it
and deploy it in Perl - eternal happiness !!!)
