This is done using a Perl feature called XS. You should look at `perldoc perlxstut` and `perldoc perlxs` -- <http://www.dave.org.uk> "Perl makes the fun jobs fun and the boring jobs bearable" - me	[reply]

Also you can look at the Inline module, it comes with a tutorial.	[reply]

There is also an article on Inline.pm in the latest issue of The Perl Journal. Aside from XS and Inline, you may also want to look at SWIG. Cheers, KM	[reply]

Use Inline, which will let you embed your C code into the Perl code eazily. It also makes making modules easier, so you'll be able to make, say, RedWolf::Graphics. -- $Stalag99{"URL"}="http://stalag99.keenspace.com";	[reply]
