Chapter 14. Combining C and Perl with Inline::C

As you might have guessed, C IS better than Perl for some things, and Perl is better than C for other things. The Inline module enables you to combine both languages. That way, you can use C to do what C does well and use Perl for what Perl does well.

This chapter shows you how to use the Inline module to actually put C code into your Perl program as well as gives you an introduction to Perl’s internals so that you can make maximum use of this module.
