Heya
I'd been looking at writing some custom code for an implementation I'm
doing for a customer. Some of the NetView API calls are very nice
for some miscellaneous tasks. However, for a variety of reasons, I'm
reluctant to get into writing a C program (reasons like, I don't know C!)
One thing I came across was the Perl XS module
(http://www.perl.com/pub/doc/manual/html/pod/perlxs.html) , which,
according to the introduction:
XS is a language used to create an extension interface between Perl
and some C library which one wishes to use with Perl. The XS
interface is combined with the library to create a new library which
can be linked to Perl. An XSUB is a function in the XS language and
is the core component of the Perl application interface
Anyone done this? Have a similar method of doing this? Thoughts about
the wisdom of this?
Thanks
