Description: Extending and Embedding Perl is as it boldly states on the cover: "The definitive guide to XS, embedding, and the Perl internals". This book is well organized and information dense.

After which you'll probably understand very well references to nethack's "You are in a maze of twisty little passages all alike". Or you could get yourself a copy of this book and find your way out of the maze. Most of the available documentation on extending and embedding perl is written from the prospective of the core perl developers for core perl developers.

It is a deliberate thorough guide led by authors that are both extremely knowledgeable and also capable of communicating that know ..
