Re^4: Access socketCAN from Perl

Thanks for the detailed explanation and clarification. I am conversant in C, and I've already written a lot of the functionality I'm looking for in C for a slightly different platform (the older linuxcan driver). I didn't understand that the wrapper concept was at the C function level, rather than the standalone application level. I should ber able to produce some test function fairly quickly. I will research the XS wrapper scheme, and see what I can come up with. High performance isn't really needed, at least not at the moment, and if it becomes necessary, I'll go full-on C.

That's great. ~~In the meanitime I will post on Socket's forum and ask what goes with `AF_CAN`~~. Oh I see that someone has posted an issue relating to `AF_CAN` last week. Perhaps you. Let's see then. Edit: and since I had the question what the difference is between `AF_` and `PF_` this may help: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6729366/what-is-the-difference-between-af-inet-and-pf-inet-in-socket-programming and via it this https://beej.us/guide/bgnet/html/. Edit: fixed issues link, thanks to anonymonk bw, bliako	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Yes, I did submit the report. Not sure how to know if it's getting any attention or not, but I will keep an eye on it, at least for a while. I've started to dig into the XS Wrapper stuff, and it looks like something I should probably know how to use, so I'll spend some time there and see what I can come up with. This is a sort of background project at the moment so nothing major is likely to happen overnight unless I grow some new and better brain cells. Really appreciate your helpful comments so far. Thanks. --- rod.	[reply]
