Re: What is *.xs file?
Umm this list is for perl as a module in apache not modules for perl... Yes! It is for a perl module in apache. I am going to write a perl module, which is capable to read a name list file in AFS for authenticattion and authorization. That's why I am studying on this issue. Thanks for your help! Sam

Sam I would start with `man h2xs' (only a start), and get _Programming Perl_, which talks about it some, as does _The Perl Cookbook_, I believe. Then there's the perlmodlib, perlxs, and perlxstut man pages. The first covers writing perl modules, the second covers the xs interface, and the last is a tutorial. After those, you might want to read perlguts (man page covering the internal functions within perl). I haven't read through all these, but they would be my first place to look. perlmonth.com had a rather nice set of XS articles starting in issue 6 issue 10 has links to all of them: http://www.perlmonth.com/columns/modules/modules.html?issue=10 --Geoff -- James Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED], 979-862-3725 Texas AM CIS Operating Systems Group, Unix

Hi! There, I am learning to write a perl module. I saw someone's AFS.pm module, in which, he wrote a AFS.xs file in C. I don'e know what .xs extension means and how to write it? If someone knows it, it will be gratefull to help me to understand it! Thanks! Sam

Sam see: perldoc perlxs or http://www.perl.com/pub/doc/manual/html/pod/perlxs.html XS is a language used to create an extension interface between Perl and some C library which one wishes to use with Perl.
