in thread Perl XS binding to a struct with an array of chars*

sorry, some typos: "The only thing I don't understand is, why I had to reallocate count+2 items of char*. It should be count-1 :-S (because count starts at 1, and the index of the given Perl array starts at 0)..."

    MaxPerl, I haven't managed to get my head around the exact requirements of the XS code, so I can't comment much more.
    I noticed in your original post that you had a DESTROY function, and I just wanted to add that I couldn't see any evidence that it will be called automagically.
    You may find that you have to explicitly call DESTROY (or Safefree) in your code, in order to avoid memory leaks.

    Cheers,
    Rob
