To be more clear, what I want to know is: Is it enough to write a working interface module/definition/whatever, or is it known that C modules which run fine with Perl need additional work because e.g. Rubys runtime GC requires tagging of all memory allocations or similar reworking of the C side. In the first case I may be able to guess it myself (guessing from other Ruby lib module examples), in the later case I won't even try, that learning step is too steep for first time. Martin
