 XS::Typemap - module to test the XS typemaps distributed with perl

   use XS::Typemap;

   $output = T_IV( $input );
   $output = T_PV( $input );
   @output = T_ARRAY( @input );

 This module is used to test that the XS typemaps distributed with perl
 are working as advertised. A function is available for each typemap
 definition (eventually). In general each function takes a variable,
 processes it through the OUTPUT typemap and then returns it using the
 INPUT typemap.

 A test script can then compare the input and output to make sure they are
 the expected values. When only an input or output function is provided
 the function will be named after the typemap entry and have either '_IN'
 or '_OUT' appended.

 All the functions are exported. There is no reason not to do this since
 the entire purpose is for testing Perl. Namespace pollution will be
 limited to the test script.

 This module is for testing only and should not normally be installed.
