[Gdal-dev] swig/perl

[Ari Jolma]

Hi,

I'm thinking of writing a Perl interface to GDAL using Swig, similar to 
the Python etc. interfaces in gdal distribution. I haven't used Swig so 
I think this is also a good occasion to learn it. So far, in one hour, 
I've got a gdal.pm which loads :) but no ogr.pm for instance (which I'm 
mostly interested in now in fact). I copied typemaps_python.i to 
typemaps_perl.i and made a global replace python->perl but I guess 
there's much to do besides that elsewhere also. I know XS but I'm mostly 
unfamiliar with typemaps.

Is anybody else interested in this? I mean interested enough and with 
some free time to cooperate. I think I know of the usual places for 
existing written advise, but is there anything more in particular I 
should know about?
