At EmbeddingPerl you can get the source code for the book. There are alot of simple examples in there, that should get you going, even without the book ( you will still need perldocs :-) ).

You can first test your connection to your lib with InlineC, like:

use Inline C => Config =>
LIBS => '-L/path/to/the_static_lib -lyourlib';

use Inline C => <<'EOC';

#include "yourlib.h" 

int wrap_multiply(int a, int b) {
return multiply(a,b);
}
