Well, he was. But probably a reasonable way to go about that is
through xs, which is to say through C.
One could even hope that creating Cocoa interfaces for Perl would be
as straightforward as creating a template for h2xs, building from the
sample code I referenced previously.
But I suspect it's slightly trickier than that, particularly given
the (what seem to me to be) intricacies of when to retain and when to
copy objects. But I'm not a real Cocoa programmer yet.
