Two things.

1. I almost wish subroutines required the use of the ampersand sigil. I hate looking at barewords in Perl, and much prefer things to have punctuation in front so the editor picks it up with a specified color.
2. I learned, the very, very hard way. That the way to do XS with C++ is to use XSPP. http://search.cpan.org/~mbarbon/ExtUtils-XSpp-0.15/lib/ExtUtils/XSpp.pod I cried a little when I saw this. But, I'm incredibly thankful that it exists, even though they're a bit under the radar.
