It is a C Perl module. I am fine with a C Python equivalent. If someone
can provide or point me to detailed instructions on how to proceed, I
am happy to do it myself (don't know anything about this stuff, but I
do have MS VC++ 5.0 for compiling). If someone is willing to "watch
over my shoulder" or better yet let me "watch over their shoulder", so
much the better.

As I said, I am a newbie. I am very willing to learn how to fish
instead of letting someone else do the fishing, I just need some help
getting started.
