 swig -c++ perl5 abc_interface.i

    Seems likely. In swig -help I found: 
    -o <outfile>    - Set name of the output file to <outfile>

    So I think something like the following should work:
    swig -c++ perl5 -o /full/path_to/abc_interface_wrap.cxx abc_interface.i

    It might be that the output filename really does need to be placed inside angle brackets as shown. I don't know.

    Cheers,

      I tried this.

      It says 

       swig -c++ -perl5 -o obj/vip2vera_interface vip2vera_interface.i
No module name specified using %module or -module.

      Also tried inserting between < > . It didnt work either!

        Sorry - I know buggerall (less, in fact) about swig. (Surely there's a swig help list out there ?)
        Seems like it wants you to specify a module name, so try that and see what happens:

        swig -c++ -perl5 -module MyMod -o obj/vip2vera_interface vip2vera_interface.i

        Cheers,
