Shishir As mentioned earlier, check out the Inline::C module. I wrote a bit about my experiences embedding C in Perl with this module and you can find that here: http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=135353. I might add that this is my personal favorite post on that site :) You can also check out the Inline mailing list at http://lists.perl.org/showlist.cgi?name=inline. The can give you plenty of help on what you need to do to get started. It's *far* easier to use Inline::C that XS or SWIG, so this is a good choice, if you can make it work for you. Two quick points: make sure your C compiler is the same one that you compiled Perl with (gcc is fine on a Linux box, for example) and have a copy of make.
