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

Hi Monks, I am planning to use C++ template for both classes and functions and plan to convert them to Perl using XS. I was just wondering if XS will be able to handle C++ template? Would you please help? Thank you,

    What do you mean by "convert them to Perl"?

    XS is essentially a bunch of extern C bindings for your code. By the time your template using source has been compiled and linked the templates have vanished and there is nothing template related for the Perl side code to know about.

      Hi, What I was talking about is the generic function/class support in XS? It somehow gives me a lot of error when compiled.

        Were you using a C++ compiler? Actually, judging by the questions you are asking I suspect you are trying to run before you can roll over. Have you worked through the perlxstut successfully?

        Note: asking "Is it possible" will get different answers than "How do I" or "I have this problem ...".
