    I've just replaced (in git) the old rendition with the one that BrowserUk linked to (written by ikegami).

    Nothing really wrong with the older version - works fine, and is quite comprehensible once you understand what newSVrv() does.
    But this amended version is more readily digestible ... and so it "gets the guernsey".

    Here's hoping that the "if it aint broke don't fix it" principle doesn't jump up and bite me ;-)

    Cheers,

      If you haven't already you might want to update ikegami's use of New() to the newer Newx?().

        Good idea ... and now done.
        In order to have the demo work with older perls that aren't Newx-aware, I've also prefixed the C code with: 
        /*
Allocate memory with Newx if it's
available - if it's an older perl
that doesn't have Newx then we
resort to using New.
*/
#ifndef Newx
#  define Newx(v,n,t) New(0,v,n,t)
#endif
