You must have a clear mapping between the types used in the library (e.g. int or void * or some POSIXy_t thingy) and the types used internally in Perl (e.g. IV). Currently we get away with being sloppy since I32 is almost always the same as int. -- Andy Dougherty [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dept. of Physics Lafayette College, Easton PA 18042
