Hey! I am embedding some code written in C into Perl by the use of H2XS. I've been able to write little C programs like "Hello, World" and have the output come out of h2xs.

###############
# C code
# Hello, World
void 
print_hello (void)
{
   printf("Hello, World\n");
}
###############
# XS code
# Hello, World
#include "EXTERN.h"
#include "perl.h"
#include "XSUB.h"

MODULE = Hello         PACKAGE = Hello

void
print_hello()

Now the next C program I would like to use is very complex! Does anyone know how to pass parameters from my command line so I can use them with my *.xs code? Any help would be appreciated!! Also, does anyone have any examples using h2xs with C libraries?? Thanks, Jennifer

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
