XS (Perl)
XS is a Perl foreign function interface through which a program can call a C or C++ subroutine. XS or xsub is an abbreviation of "eXternal Subroutine", where ''external'' refers to programming languages external to Perl. XS also refers to a glue language for specifying calling interfaces supporting such interfaces (see below). Background Subroutine libraries in Perl are called ''modules'', and modules that contain xsubs are called ''XS modules''. Perl provides a framework for developing, packaging, distributing, and installing modules. It may be desirable for a Perl program to invoke a C subroutine in order to handle very CPU or memory intensive tasks, to interface with hardware or low-level system facilities, or to make use of existing C subroutine libraries. Perl interpreter The Perl interpreter is a C program, so in principle there is no obstacle to calling from Perl to C. However, the XS interface is complex and highly technical, and using it requires some understanding ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

(For example: bike helmet label stating "head girth: 56–60 cm".) * Product dimensions: The label states characteristic dimensions of the product. (For example: jeans label stating inner leg length of the jeans in centimetres or inches (not inner leg measurement of the intended wearer).) * Ad hoc sizes: The label states a size number or code with no obvious relationship to any measurement.
