Extending and Embedding Perl
An explanation of how to expand the functionality and usefulness of the Perl programming language, this guide delves into the complex issues of using real code examples from the Perl source. Detailed is how to use Perl from C programs, such as writing interfaces to C libraries, techniques on implementing Perl callbacks for C libraries, passing Perl hashes and arrays between Perl and C. Additionally, developers are provided with an API reference for the internal C interface to Perl and a reference on the typemap system. Sometimes programmers are required to go outside the core of the Perl programming language to C routines or libraries in order to get their task done. This work was written in order to help software writers relate Perl and C. Assuming that readers are knowledgeable in Perl, they explain how to embed C into programs. In addition they also address cases where Perl is not the best base language and explore the opposite case.
