Yes, you can do MacPerl XS using the straight Codewarrior IDE or
Codewarrior MPW. You can certainly also do PPC using Apple MPW.

I feel a bit guilty because I've had this raw unpolished tutorial sitting
around for a few months now explaining this stuff, and I have NOT had time
to clean it up. However, it sounds like you can probably hack your way to
the solution.

For a CW IDE project, using XS, I posted something some time back giving
hints, and as I recall it was clear enough that at least one brave soul
understood it and was able to use the instructions. :-) So look for
MacPerl and XS and CW using DejaNews, and you should locate that post.

I'm happy to answer any other questions.
