Simply put (and paraphrastically, so don't nitpick, anyone), XS is using a funky type of C used to code Perl back ends. You end up with compiled modules in .DLL (Win32) or .so (Linux/etc) format. XS is used to supply Perl with functionality that it currently doesn't have, such as connecting with a C-based library, or to do something faster in compiled code than you could do in Perl code (which latter use is becoming more and more irrelevant on faster and faster machines). p
