How about SDL [ http://libsdl.org ]?  It may be overkill as well, but
it's definitely portable.  There is a perl wrapper (which I have not

According to the SDL web site, it supports Linux, OS X, and Windows,
along with BeOS, Classic MacOS, various other BSDs, Amiga, IRIX, and
Solaris.  (Along with a slew of not-officially-supported platforms.)
