I've been looking into using this in conjunction with the pcre library.

However I have problems with both returning results and capturing them in PL.

The result should be an array of strings or if it's more convenient
stored by reference in a variable.

ATM I'm trying with the following:

void tst(char *strs[2]){
        strs[0] = "foo";
        strs[1] = "bar";
}

(native "pcre/main.so" "tst" NIL '(X (8 . S)))

X contains "foo" but I can't seem to get at "bar".

Maybe it's just easier to print the results and capture that? If so
then maybe it's even easier/more efficient to skip this completely and
simply call an executable or does native have lower overhead?
