There and Back Again
Extending and Embedding Perl is as it boldly states on the cover: "The definitive guide to XS, embedding, and the Perl internals". This book is well organized and information dense. One could spend days sifting through the available perlapi, perlcall, perlembed, perlguts perlxs, perlxstut, and h2xs documentation. After which you'll probably understand very well references to nethack's "You are in ...

"This is the International Edition. The content is in English, same as US version but different cover. Please DO NOT buy if you can not accept this difference. Ship from Shanghai China, please allow about 3 weeks on the way to US or Europe. Message me if you have any questions."

The first edition can be found online. I believe Simon is going to take a break from writing for a while. I hope he finds his way back to writing about Perl eventually.

An excellent book for advanced programmers.
This is an excellent, thorough, fairly advanced book. Until now, I was an o'reilly zealot, clinging to my camel book and my CD bookshelf as the Only True Word.

So far, the book has done a great job covering all my ...
