DESCRIPTION
"SDL::Event" offers an object-oriented approach to SDL events. By creating an instance of SDL::Event via new() you can wait for events, and then determine the type of the event and take an appropriate action.

EXAMPLE
Here is an example of a simple event handler loop routine. See also SDL::App::loop.

       sub loop {
               my ($self,$href) = @_;
               my $event = new SDL::Event;
               while ( $event->wait() ) {
                       # ... insert here your event handling like:
                       if ( ref($$href{$event->type()}) eq "CODE" ) {
                               &{$$href{$event->type()}}($event);
                               $self->sync();
                       }
               }
       }
