For handling arrays, hashes, and other Perl variables, you will need to use Perl's C API. I must confess that it took me quite a bit of effort to get the hang of Perl's C API and the few tutorials that exist are targeted to users of XS. For the Inline::C (and CPP) perspective, see https://metacpan.org/module/Inline::C-Cookbook#Meat-Potatoes. The reference document for the Perl API is here: http://perldoc.perl.org/perlapi.html.
