[MacPerl] How to extend the Mac toolbox in MacPerl

Hello. I'm trying to add GXFCN (my QuickDraw GX API interface HyperTalk
XFCN) functionality to MacPerl. What would be the easiest way to do this?

The HyperTalk syntax for GXFCN is:

put GXFCN("Function_Name" [parameter-list]) into container



That's a bit klunky and I did it that way because HyperTalk wasn't designed
to handle the addition of about 400-500 new function calls via a library.
The only Perl book I have is _Perl 5 Complete_ by Edward Peschko & Michele
DeWolfe, which doesn't go into how to add compiled libraries that I have
found  and isn't Mac-specific anyway.

Any advice on how to add an entirely new API to MacPerl would be much
appreciated.
