If anyone has a spare moment, could they see if the this (the SWIG 
bindings) works for them?  It works with Python, but the Perl example 
fails with

     TypeError in method 'CodeGenerator_getInstance', argument 1 of type
         'highlight::OutputType'

in call to highlightc::CodeGenerator_getInstance (on FreeBSD with Perl 
5.8.8)
