Why don't you take a look at Inline::C? It has all the power of SWIG but it is so much easier to get up and running with it.

well, actually i dont know which is the best way. Let me look at every possibility. If Inline::C works fine, then i will stick to it

Waaait. Inline::C is the devil when it comes to deployment. It's not impossible, but it's damn inconvenient. If what you're writing is to run on a machine other than a development machine, I suggest you stay away from it.

The downside to `Inline::C` is that the machine that runs the code must have a C compiler. I have also had problems with corrupt `Inline::C` caches (this has occurred when several programs try to use a module that uses `Inline::C` at the same time and the cache didn't exist yet). I find `Inline::C` is great for prototyping, but XS is much better for production.
