Thanks for the advice.

I tried using Inline::C, but it's still not quite working. The wrappers around a few of the library routines (initialization, for example) do appear to be working correctly, however, it crashes whenever running the C callback function. In the C callback function, what it should be doing is copying the necessary data to perl variables, doing a "perl_call_sv" to call the user specified perl callback function, then copying the data back from perl variables. What's happening though is that the program crashes whenever I try to do anything in the C language callback function.

No matter what code I put in the C callback, I get ``unhandled exception...: access violation reading location...''

I can confirm that the callback function is actually being called because I've made a counter variable that increments each time its run. Upon close, I have the program print the contents, and it looks like its being run the right number of times. However, anything more complicated than that and it crashes.

Any thoughts?
