HI Dan, This is probably where you want to focus more, then, because it is [probably] critical. Just taking a sorta wild guess here, I'm going to guess that these are casts to numerical and string types. Certainly that distinction underlies the biggest difference between Perl and C. Where Perl abstracts the difference between number and string, C strictly enforces type differences. Strings are seen as arrays. Anytime you are passing information between perl and C, you have to keep this distinction in mind. So if my stab in the dark is on the mark, these two functions you cite should be interfaces to that type-specific syntax and declaration protocol.. Don't know the details, as I haven't ventured into that territory, but these may be worthwhile leads to follow up.
