I've used XS heavily over the past few years in an EDA tool environment
and have been intending to give Inline a try. Didn't know you had a
mailing list, BTW.
I'd love to see community efforts put towards more complete documentation
of the Perl C API. Like many others, I've got my little subset of
routines which I understand fairly well. However, I'm sure there are some
very handy gems hiding in the source code that I'm unaware of. A push to
flesh out the Perlguts document would benefit both groups.
