I would be grateful to get any clues as to how to get the fd (either FILE*
or PerlIO* or the lower level structs) out of an IO::File and similar
objects. I would like to be able to pass a filehandle as an alternative to
passing a string into C space. I've made the requisite forays into perlapi,
perlguts, perlapio, Inline::C, Inline::C-Cookbook, etc.
The upshot is that it's trivial to create and open a filehandle in C space,
but I would like to have the user open it in perl and pass it to the inlined
C.
Cheers!
