Re: Perl embedding: trial balloon

Have you looked at the XEmacs loadable modules in 21.2.x? It would
be nice for maintainability if one could make Perlemacs just a
loadable module (after a providing some services like the type
extensions in the core maybe).
Could you suggest how I can learn more about loadable modules? This
is something I'm very interested in. I would like to know how to make
a package which can be somehow added into XEmacs, providing
lisp-callable functions. I would also like for this thing to be able
to draw into a region in an XEmacs buffer--an embeddable widget if you
will. I'm thinking maybe XEmacs gives me a subwindow or something.
Anyway, I'd like to learn about the mechanics of this stuff. What
should I start with?
