Chapter 8 - Programming Perl in C

To work comfortably in the Perl API, you'll need to keep the documentation that comes with Perl close at hand. Nearly every function and macro in the Perl API is documented in the perlapi perldoc. The IO functions are described in depth in perlapio. Finally, the Perl calling conventions are detailed in perlcall.

Although this chapter has covered a great deal of material, you still have miles to go if you wish to become a true Perl internals guru. Continue your education by reading the perlguts manual. Also of interest is Simon Cozen's excellent Perl internals tutorial available at http://www.netthink.co.uk.
