You might want to check out the draft chapters on Extensibility and
Extensions in the upcoming MacPerl book.

    http://www.ptf.com/macperl/ptf_book/draft.html

If Xbase needs compilation to a shared library, you need to see the
Extensions chapter.  Otherwise, the info in Extensibility should be
sufficient.

Hope this helps,
