I use Inline::C++ to interface with existing C++ code. My solution is to
keep a small interface in the Inline Perl source, i.e. just small wrapper
functions. The "real" code is #included on the first line and is never a
part of the XS stuff. By doing that I can keep almost all of the source
files unchanged from the original source tree.
The fact that only the source text parsed by RecDescent is part of the
Perl<->otherlanguage interface is interesting and might be mentioned in the
docs.
