Don't miss the next issue!

The winter season really flies, at my home; it seems like just a day or two ago, I was cooking for friends in November, and here we are with winter about to give one more good cold spell, then spring can start here in South Texas. It's been a quiet week in my corner of the Perl world, but I've found a few things of interest!

Writing your own XS functions

by David Farrell (DFARRELL)

In part one, we learned the basic components of XS, and integrated two C functions into Perl. This chapter is going to show you how to define xsubs that accept multiple parameters, and define your own logic, instead of using XS as a Foreign Function Interface to a C library.
