SYNOPSIS
Extending and Embedding Perl explains how to expand the functionality and usefulness of the Perl programming language and how to use Perl from C programs. It begins simply but also covers complex issues using real code examples from the Perl source. The book discusses how to write interfaces to C libraries (as well as C++ and Fortran libraries). It shows you how to implement Perl callbacks for C libraries, how to pass Perl hashes and arrays between Perl and C, and how to use the Perl Data Language infrastructure to improve the speed of array operations.

Additionally, the book peers under the hood to see how the Perl programming language really works by looking at the interpreter. The make-up of Perl variables is discussed along with details on how a Perl program is parsed and converted to executable code.

What's Inside:

* C For The Perl Programmer
* Basic and Advanced XS
* Embedding Perl in C Programs
* Perl Internals
* An API reference for the internal C interface to Perl
* A reference on the typemap system
* Embedding Perl into the mutt mail reader

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Simon CozensSimon Cozens has been programming PCs as a freelance contractor since the age of 10. He was introduced to Perl and Linux little over three years ago and has been using both exclusively ever since. He is regularly contracted by Oracle Corporation to develop Perl scripts, including low-administration web server systems and tools to automate adminstration of Oracle databases, web servers and UNIX systems. He has a special interest in documentation and literate programming, and has written a literate programming environment for Perl. His other Perl programs include a set of networking tools, a program to trap unsolicited email, and a series of varied Perl modules. He is currently working on a system to read English descriptions of markup languages and generate translators between them, and also a Perl version of the Te X typesetting utility. Simon lives in Oxford, where he investigates computer processing of Japanese. His interests include music, typesetting and the modern Greek language and culture.
Tim JennessA Perl developer for 7 years, Tim Jenness has ten modules on CPAN including two that are distributed as part of the core Perl distribution (File::Temp and Pod::LateX).
