perl wrapper for C

perl wrapper for C

[Anshuman S. Rawat]

Hi,
This might be the wrong list for this question -
I have a C module for which I need to build a perl wrapper. Does anyone have
any pointers on how to go about that? (the C module is itself dependent on a
whole lot of other modules).

Absolutely any help would be appreciated!

Thanks.

swig

http://www.swig.org/

SWIG is a software development tool that connects programs written in C and
C++ with a variety of high-level programming languages. SWIG is primarily
used with common scripting languages such as Perl, Python, Tcl/Tk, and Ruby,
however the list of supported languages also includes non-scripting
languages such as Java, OCAML and C#. Also several interpreted and compiled
Scheme implementations (Guile, MzScheme, Chicken) are supported. SWIG is
most commonly used to create high-level interpreted or compiled programming
environments, user interfaces, and as a tool for testing and prototyping
C/C++ software. SWIG can also export its parse tree in the form of XML and
Lisp s-expressions. SWIG may be freely used, distributed, and modified for
commercial and non-commercial use.

Try the module Inline::C from CPAN.
