Re: [GENERAL] can I do this.

Yes, but wasn't there talk -a little while back- of actually implementing
Perl functions directly (i.e. not via a C wrapper).

I remember there was a fair bit of support for doing so but I haven't
heard any more!

Anybody out there doing it?  I'd really love it!  I'd help but I only
"program" Perl... hence the request ;)

Cheers,

S.
