Hi mongers,

I'm planning to build a Perl Extension and my first insight was to learning XS, but reading "Advanced Perl Programming", where Sriram recomend to use SWIG I'm getting confusing to choose the "best" choice.

Sriram, just recommend XS because is bundled with Perl, and say that swig is a lot cleanner and less internals-oriented than XS.

I'd like know if someone can advice-me what is the best wrapper ?

Thanks

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
