( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

I recently had a similar revelation with new development of a module. It was my first venture into XS and I was a little at sea. It wasn't a complicated thing, but I got lost.

To start fresh, I began by writing the pod. That cleared up what I wanted to do, and gave me the API to work for. Then I wrote tests for that API, and for all the loading, constructor and destructor bits. Thirty tests covered it all.

With that new focus, it was nearly trivial to finish. I'd picked up enough XS in floundering around to fix up the typemaps so they only covered things I needed. With the API clear in my head, I was able to write XS to do those things.

perl Makefile.PL... make... make test... make clean... repair... perl Makefile.PL... make... make test... Done.

Magical.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
