Work on my first CPAN contribution: ReadGRIB
For my first CPAN module I'm planing to offer ReadGRIB, a lib that will open NECP GRIB file. That's National Centers for Environmental Prediction GRIdded Binary files. They're used for scientific data. In this case, my module was crated to read marine whether prediction data. More on my project later. I'll say for now that it includes a perl .pm file which wraps a compiled C program called wgrib. I don't yet know how to package a perl module the includes C code used this way. That is, I will want to have the C code compiled to a stand alone program at module install time and then the perl .pm code will be able to use it. ... Just to remind myself: % /usr/local/bin/perl5.8.4 -I/usr/home/lyon/local/lib/site_perl /usr/local/bin/h2xs ... To run /h2xs/ with libs from my own include locations. [/items/Perl] permanent link
