navarra_rd has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

How can I embed my C program in Perl?In my previous hardware interfacing programs, I used C. So to gain access in the lpt port,in C it goes like this: outportb(0x378,2); How can I embed lines like these in my Perl program. I want to use Perl for hardware interfacing via the network. If there is anything you can help i'm thankful.

    The Inline::C module by Brian Ingerson should help you do that.

    Since my last experiment, I too would stick to Inline::C but since virtualsue already mentioned it :)
    Anyway, not entirely embedding, more like extending is perlxs (also check perlxstut)
