pass 2d array to C function

[min]

I need to call a C function from perl. How do I pass a 2D array into
the C function that I am invoking from perl? Can anyone direct me to
a tutorial?

Thanks!

These are the basics, the last one is a tutorial:

perlxs
perlapi
perlguts
perlXStut

If you intend to use Inline, there are particularly helpful ones. You
*may* get away with these with little reference to the above.

Inline # as far as needed (not much)
Inline::C # as far as needed (a lot)
Inline::C-Cookbook # start here

It depends. Are you writing the C function, or merely using one that
already exists? If the later, what kind of 2D array does the C function
expect to receive?

I am using one that already exists. The C function requires a void
**. The array that will be passed in is of different datatypes
(double, string, etc).
