I believe that was the tool I had in mind. We have used this many
times in our company to link C libraries to Perl and call them from
Perl scripts. It works very well; we've used them for critical business
applications.

When a Perl/CGI program draws graphs in a GIF file (a very common
requirement to show graphical data in a Web browser) it makes calls
to something called the GD library. This is written in C, for C programmers,
and someone created the Perl links to it. It's not part of standard Perl
packages on most Linux distros. Very stable.
