man SDL::Mouse (3): SDL Bindings for the Mouse device

CONSTANTS

The constants for SDL::Mouse belong to SDL::Events/SDL::Event, under the export tag of ':state'.

METHODS

warp_mouse

 SDL::Mouse::warp_mouse( $x, $y );

Set the position of the mouse cursor (generates a mouse motion event). Even if the mouse is warped to where it currently is, a mouse motion event is generated.

set_cursor

 SDL::Mouse::set_cursor( $cursor_object );

Sets the currently active cursor to the specified one. See SDL::Cursor for details on cursor objects. If the cursor is currently visible, the change will be immediately represented on the display. "set_cursor()" can be used to force cursor redraw, if this is desired for any reason.

get_cursor

 my $cursor_object = SDL::Mouse::get_cursor;

Gets the currently active mouse cursor.

show_cursor

 my $return = SDL::Mouse::show_cursor( $state );

Toggle whether or not the cursor is shown on the screen. Passing "SDL_ENABLE" displays the cursor and passing "SDL_DISABLE" hides it. The current state of the mouse cursor can be queried by passing "SDL_QUERY", either "SDL_DISABLE" or "SDL_ENABLE" will be returned.
