(the goal:)
I've started putting a Perl wrapper around the IBM
International Components for Unicode (ICU) library.
(see the end of this email for more details)
(about me:)
I've done internationalization (i18n) for a while but
I'm just learning ICU. I have done plenty of Perl but
I am new to Xs.
(current plan:)
For the first pass I intend to just make the standard
ICU C++ api available to Perl. This way I will learn
ICU and Xs. Perhaps at a later it can used more directly
in Perl. At this point I know that I don't have enough
experience with Xs or ICU to make architectural
decisions.
(the request:)
I always try to start a new type of project by
following other persons good work. Since I'm not a Xs
expert:
Could I get some recommendations for a Xs wrapper
around a C++ library to emulate; eg: Gtk,
Thanks
