calling C/C++ function from perl

Hi,
how do I call a compiled C/C++ function from perl ?
Let say I have a C/C++ function:

Code:
*char func(char *ptr, int len) {
    ...
return str;}
Now i wonna call it from perl

Inline-0.44 from CPAN (which includes Inline::C), and there's also Inline::CPP. Or you may like to get straight into compiling XS code (which is more or less what Inline::C automates for you) - in which case you'd probably start with 'perldoc perlxstut'.

You can also look at http://www.swig.org It is "a relatively quick and painless way of exposing your C/C++ program's internal API to the machinations of any scripting language."

And since you're into programming, spelling correctly would certainly help too. :)
