Consider Inline::C as a light alternative to XS. You can probably write your own C code rather easily with that, and the rest of the glue just magically comes together.

    I'd recommend SWIG - it's magically easy to use, and has the added benefit of allowing you to use your C functions in (in addition to Perl) Tcl, Python, Guile, Java, Ruby, and Mzscheme with minimal additional effort.

    Update

    More languages: Objective Caml, C#, and the Chicken scheme compiler.
