Too much Perl coding and not enough C; I haven't done any lengthy C code
in probably two years.  Good to know about the PREINIT, I was wondering
why it was there (it isn't in the Gtk-Perl-0.7008 code).  I know very
little about XS, but I am running

pod2text perlxs    | a2ps
pod2text perlxstut | a2ps
pod2text perlguts  | a2ps

today before my 1.5 hour drive home tonight so I will get lots of
stoplight reading done.  Are there any other docs I should read?
