in reply to Interfacing Perl with C++, using XS, with external files, and using the STL as parameters and return values.

Congratulations! Both for persevering in your research and goals; and for getting all that down.

I'd love to see that broken into 2 or 3 sub-posts and indexed from the root.

The rant/history is valuable--and fun to read; especially as I've been part way down some of those dead ends myself previously--but having the tutorial part broken out as one or two smaller posts for easy reference would be very useful.

    I would break it apart, but I hate the thought of polluting perlmonks with multiple posts. Do you think just cutting the code sections out to another post would be ok?

      I don't think it would be "pollution".

      Personally, I'd break out the code sections and related narrative and post them as replies to the root and add links in the root to them.

      An (IMO: poorer) alternative, would be to wrap chunks of the post in <readmore></readmore> tags.
