Re: perlxs documentation

Here is an example I have from unknown origin (probably perl.inline newsgroup) for using Inline::C

#!/usr/bin/perl

# Suppose libyourlib contains a function called 'multiply' which takes
+ 2 
# arguments of type int and returns a int. You could access it with 
# Inline::C as follows: 

use Inline C => Config =>
LIBS => '-L/path/to/the_static_lib -lyourlib';

use Inline C => <<'EOC';

#include "yourlib.h" 

int wrap_multiply(int a, int b) {
return multiply(a,b);
}

EOC

my $x = 17;
my $y = 123;

print wrap_multiply($x, $y);

__END__ 
 
# And, so long as libyourlib.so was able to be found, that Inline scri
+pt 
# should work fine (typing errors aside :-).
