A better introduction to Rust FFI

This is a proof of concept code to show how to expose validation functionality from a Rust crate iso8601 to perl!

Usage

This should work with Macs and Linux based environments. Also for perl FFI binding I'm using FFI::Raw module rather than xs.

• Install rust using rustup, accept the defaults and follow instructions: curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh
• Clone the repo git clone git@github.com:booyaa/iso8601_validator.git
• Go to the iso8601_validator directory
• Build cargo build
• Install FFI::Raw `perl -MCPAN -e 'install FFI::Raw'
• Test code using perl script: src/main.pl

The Python code is @shepmaster's excellent The Rust FFI Omnibus.

The awful perl code I claim as my own.
