So I don't think the problem is what you think it is... Are you calling sub as main::subroutine() or as subroutine() ? XS code's "current package" is the current package of the calling perl code, NOT the package in which XS resides. (This is becuase current package is a per Current Op thing and XS doesn't have OPs so last executed perl statement's one gets used.) Another thing is that XS code has no "lexical scope" so my/our declarations can't be seen. > >Perl docs tells nothing more than almost nothing about "eval_pv", so I >would greatly appreciate some link/info about it. Essentially it is "as if" the code that called your XS had done eval "Some string";
