Vibe Coding a Perl interface to a C library

I had created the library in C as part of a bigger project to create a multithreaded and hardware (GPU, and soon TPU) accelerated library to manipulate fingerprints for text. At some point, I figured one can have fun vibe coding the interface to Perl. The first post in the series just dropped ; it provides the background, rationale, the prompt and the first output by Claude 3.7. Subsequent posts will critique the solution and document subsequent interactions with the chatbot.
Part 2 will be about the alienfile (a task that botched by the LLM). Suggestions for subsequent prompts welcome ; as I said this is a project whose C backend (except the TPU part) is nearly complete, so I am just having fun with the Perl part.
