These are the places to go trolling for further information, should this chapter not slake your thirst:
-
perlguts
documentation. Jeff Okamoto and others.
The
perlguts
documentation, along with
perlembed
and
perlcall
, is a fairly exhaustive source of information. The API reference in this document contains many more functions and macros than are covered in this chapter.
-
Perl 5 Porters news gateway and archive.
The
perl.porters-gw
Usenet newsgroup is a gateway to the
p5p
mailing list, where vigorous discussions of Perl internals overshadow porting issues. Archived articles can be searched at
http://www.rosat.mpe-garching.mpg.de/mailing-lists/Perl5-Porters/
-
XS Cookbooks. Dean Roehrich.
These cookbooks, available from CPAN (look under the
authors/Dean_Roehrich
directory), provide solutions to a number of sample problems covering all XS features.
-
sfio
(Safe/Fast I/O Library). David Korn and Kiem-Phong Vo.
Faster, extensible, and an overall better alternative to
stdio
, with backward compliance to
stdio
. Works only on Unix. Get it from CPAN's
Misc
directory, or check the following URL for a summary:
http://www.research.att.com/sw/tools/reuse/packages/sfio.html
-
Perl compiler. Fetch from CPAN's
authors/Malcolm_Beattie/
directory.
The Road goes ever on and on Now far ahead the Road has gone, And I must follow, if I can, Pursuing it with eager feet, Until it joins some larger way Where many paths and errands meet. And whither then? I cannot say.

The Lord of the Rings
