vikee has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello monks :)

can anybody help me?

when I run h2xs I got this error: 

panic: multiple types without intervening comma in
         const struct HWKBSYSTEM__ near* HWKBSYSTEM
whited-out as
                                   near* HWKBSYSTEM
Expecting parenth after identifier in `HWKBMEM far pascal WkbAllocMem(
+HWKBSYSTEM hwkbsys, UINT cbAlloc)'
after `HWKBMEM ' at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/C/Scan.pm line 729.

I have a library and the corresponding h file. I want to make a pm for it. Is there an example how to make it?

Thanks, Vikee

Edit: g0n - removed pre tags, added formatting & code tags

    The answer hasn't changed much since yesterday.

    Go read the tutorial and learn.

    There is even a book on the subject, Extending and Embedding Perl

    h2xs and tools like it are useful, but they're not a substitute for learning XS.
