Hi perlmonkers! I spent the last 2 years studying computer security and related topics and since my first day of studies, I used perl as my first programming language and I (finally) would like to update an old library which can be great for penetration testing purposes: I am talking about the Net::Lorcon2 library, I started yesterday the rewriting and now, after 10-12 hours of developing, I encountered the first (persistent) problem: the XS code is extremely flawed, every time that I call the "lorcon_create" function (which accept 2 parameters, the interface and the driver) it says:  Net::Lorcon2::lorcon_create: driver is not a reference so, instead of calling: 
use Net::Lorcon2 qw(:subs);

my $driver = "iwlwifi";
my $if = "wlo1";

print Net::Lorcon2::lorcon_create($if, $driver);

I called 
use Net::Lorcon2 qw(:subs);

my $driver = "iwlwifi";
my $if = "wlo1";

print Net::Lorcon2::lorcon_create($if, \$driver);

[download]
obtaining only a Segmentation fault. I put the entirely library code here: https://easyupload.io/o120mv Hope in some helps! thanks. (p.s this is just a naif version of the library, I am using it only for the XS debug, do the normal "make" and "make install", do not try to use tests, they are still WIP :) )
