Also Inline::C. Seethe cookbook, especially the section on exposing shared libraries. Cheers, Rob	[reply]

The manpages perlxs and especially perlxstut have examples. For quick and dirty there seems to be C:DynaLib.	[reply]

P5NCI may be sufficient if the function signatures aren't too complicated. Perl Contrarian & SQL fanboy	[reply]
