in reply to When linking to a C library, do I need to use its license?

No ad hoc expertise here, but your description of your plan seems to me to suggest that you can still go with your "normal Perl license" -- so long as the "quasi wrapper" is distributed with a prominent warning to the user that your code is linked to a C lib and #includes headers therefrom -- both of which are covered by a GPL3+ license.

Update: Restored dropped "go"
