in reply to What's the "modern" way to talk to C libraries?

Are there other developers around who work with C libraries these days?

I still work with C libraries, and I still use Inline::C and XS for the task.

Or is this an art soon to be obsolete?

I bloody hope not.
If perl were to obsolete XS (as happened with Perl6) then that would be a perl to which I do not update.

Cheers,
Rob

    I might have worded that wrong: I did not want to suggest that this could happen (see my link to Dave Mitchell's mail)!
