SWIG (Simplified Wrapper and Interface Generator)
is a freely available tool that integrates Perl, Python,
Tcl, and other scripting languages with programs written
in C, C++, and Objective-C. This paper provides an
introduction to SWIG and shows how it can be used to
construct Perl extension modules. In addition, a number
of applications in which SWIG has been utilized are
described. While SWIG is similar to other Perl extension
building tools such as xsubpp and h2xs, SWIG has
a number of unique features that help simplify the task
of creating Perl extension modules. Many of these features
are described as well as limitations and future directions.
This paper is primarily intended for developers
who are interested in combining Perl with applications
written in C or C++ as well as current SWIG users who
are interested in learning more about some of SWIG’s
advanced features.

Generating a visual representation is often the best way to understand large data sets,
but standard tools such as gnuplot often fall short. This article shows how to use
Perl/Tk, the standard GUI toolkit for Perl, to quickly build custom plotting and
graphing tools.
The human eye is incredibly good at recognizing complex behavior and spotting trends and
patterns in visually displayed data. If any dataset is larger than about a dozen points, a graph
is helpful; if the dataset exceeds a few thousand points, a graph becomes a necessity.
For simple x-y plots, gnuplot is often the first choice. For more complicated problems you
can use xmgrace and other plotting tools. However, most simple curve plotters are
insufficient for plotting two-dimensional data or for exerting detailed control over a
complicated graph. Examples of complicated graphs include specialized bar-and-whiskers
plots, time-series with sophisticated error bars, color encodings and density plots, and many
other possibilities.

This book marks the intersection of two essential technologies for the Web and information services. XML, the
latest and best markup language for self-describing data, is becoming the generic data packaging format of
choice. Perl, which web masters have long relied on to stitch up disparate components and generate dynamic
content, is a natural choice for processing XML. The shrink-wrap of the Internet meets the duct tape of the
Internet.
More powerful than HTML, yet less demanding than SGML, XML is a perfect solution for many developers. It
has the flexibility to encode everything from web pages to legal contracts to books, and the precision to format
data for services like SOAP and XML-RPC. It supports world-class standards like Unicode while being
backwards-compatible with plain old ASCII. Yet for all its power, XML is surprisingly easy to work with, and
many developers consider it a breeze to adapt to their programs.
As the Perl programming language was tailor-made for manipulating text, Perl and XML are perfectly suited for
one another. The only question is, "What's the best way to pair them?" That's where this book comes in.
