+ExtUtils::ParseXS will compile XS code into C code by embedding
+the constructs necessary to let C functions manipulate Perl
+values and creates the glue necessary to let Perl access those
+functions. The compiler uses typemaps to determine how to map
+C function parameters and variables to Perl values.
