a little xs fun

I spent most of my night tonight trying to figure out how to write Perl XS bindings for Edb. Partially, it was because I felt (and feel) that my knowledge of the XS black arts was (and is) lacking. Partially, though, it's because both Edb and EET are really cool libs that I could see using.

The result? I got it to where I could open the db file, set a string, get the string, and close the file. That's enough for tonight.

Eric Richardson lives in Atlanta, Georgia, where he works on payments infrastructure for Cash App.

Past lives involved streaming audio for Southern California Public Radio, running a hyperlocal news site for Downtown Los Angeles, working on custom mapping code, and writing Perl at the Jet Propulsion Labratory.
