I don't understand.  Are you writing C-based XS modules that need to be
compiled, or are you just writing a plain ol' perl module?  If the latter,
then you don't need CodeWarrior.  Just write the module, and test it from
the same directory as the scripts that call it, or copy it into your
site_perl directory.

If the former, you almost certainly will want to read Arved Sandstrom's
tutorials on building XS modules and SWIG headers for Perl, at
<http://www.macperl.com/depts/Tutorials/>.  It explains what you need for
various different cases, and for MPW as well as CodeWarrior.  There are
probably also relevant pieces of the MacPerl Power and Ease book,
reachable from the same www.macperl.com site, which explain what is
needed.

If you are compiling C extensions, have read the tutorials, and you want
something else, I'd be happy to pass along a CW Pro5 XML export file which
you can edit for your hard drive paths, add water, and make a project.
It's for the HTML::Parser module from CPAN; the project has only one
.c file in it.  You will definitely need to download the MacPerl Src
distribution to compile an XS file, FWIW.
