Greetings,
I'm seeking some suggestions on where to look for information on writing modules (apart from the Camel book and any tutorials here). We have an application that we use a lot and if it turns out that I am unable to replace it with another method, I was toying with the idea of writing a module to access it. There is information in the application's docs about writing C/C++ routines and also inserting it into scripts (shell mainly but I've adapted those into Perl). I've got a modular routine that we use and it works quite nicely but I can't always access certain features because those features might break something else since all the script rely on it. I'm just trying to come up with a way to make our job easier since the current way we access the application is kludgy to say the least. I'm keeping this specifically generic, just after some places where I can look for some information on how to go about writing this module that I want. I know how to write modules, but not one that us for a specific app.

Hopefully that makes sense. Many thanks for any suggestions.
