RE: What is *.xs file?

Umm this list is for perl as a module in apache
not modules for perl...

However, .xs is a special blend of C for writing perl modules

try man perlxs

Yes! It is for a perl module in apache.  I am going to write a perl module, 
which is capable to read a name list file in AFS for authenticattion and 
authorization.  That's why I am studying on this issue.  
Thanks for your help!
