perl & C interface

Hi ,
        I am facing an interface problem. I have a C dll which I want to
access from the perl file. As u might be knowing that the two languages
(perl & C) are having different data types. In my C dll function I need to
pass the pointer to a string i.e., func(char *name). Can u tell me how I
need to have an interface file & how to call in perl. I will populate the
variable "name" with some string in C dll. The string should reflect in the
perl calling function. I am using the SWIG utility to convet the datatype.
Waiting for ur response.
Nazeer N.H.
