Does anyone have a collection of c++ classes to aid in translation of
perl into c?  All this reusability one keeps hearing about....  I want
the basics (a perl array, the associative array code taken out and
fashioned into a class, etc.) along with any higher order classes
people may have devised.  Thanks.

The trouble is, to do it right, you really need class templates, and they
aren't generally available yet.
