Re: Regarding using SWIG+PERL

    I know you can use SWIG for this, and if it's a swig project that's fine. I would recommend either Inline::C or regular old XS if this is a Perl project. Out of SWIG, xs, and Inline::C, the inline route is by far the easiest option.

    (Also, although SWIG is really spelled SWIG, Perl is spelled Perl.)

    (Also Also, their tutorial seems to cover everything you need.)

      BTW, last time I checked, "you" was still spelled "you"... ;)

        I was referring to the Shibboleth: PERL.

        UPDATE: OIC, you were referring to the 'u' in the OP. I thought I wasn't clear or something, my bad.
