in thread C tutorial for Perl programmers?

I had been hoping I could relate things to what they already know in Perl. e.g. they've all seen things like ARRAY(0x84902a0), the deference arrow works in a similar way in Perl and C, and a lot of the syntax is deliberately similar.

I don't have a lot of hope for getting people up to XS, but I'd like to give them a good start.

I don't have a lot of hope for getting people up to XS, but I'd like to give them a good start The nice thing about Inline::C is that it's XS under the hood but, to use it, you don't really need to know any XS at all - you just need to know some C (and, for starters, to read the perlapi documentation).
