Module writting question (familiarity with Perl and PHP's Zend useful.)

[Steven James Samuel Stapleton]

I'm writing a language comparison document, and amongst other languages,
Perl is in the comparison. My question is, can a person write an external
module, such as a Zend module in PHP, using another language. If so, can
someone point me to the appropriate documentation?

Thanks,

Thanks, I'll look into that.

I'm scanning this, and I've a question, it looks more like a "C and C++"
interpreter for Perl rather than compiled and executed C code, is this
correct?
