Indeed. The interface provided by the -C++ option in xsubpp does make it dead easy to
map a C++ class to the Perl equivalent.
The only issue I had was the lack of generic C++ exception to Perl exception mapping
code. In the end I had to wrap all my XSUBs in something like this
void
SomeClass::SomeMethod()
INIT:
try {
CLEANUP:
}
catch (err & e)
{
// map C++ exception to Perl exception
}
catch (...)
{
// map C++ exception to Perl exception
}
This works fine, but it doesn't half bloat the code.
