I'm trying to create my first module and I am having a bit of trouble.  Is
there any example modules available I could review to get a better
understanding of how to write them?

Thanks

Most any directory under ext/ in the source tree are, in actuality, 
standalone modules (a few exceptions, though only technically).

Or you could grab any package from PECL ( http://pecl.php.net ).

Or you could run ext_skel (from the ext/ directory) and generate a skeleton 
replete with comments describing what to do with the included pieces.

I found the book Advanced PHP Programming to be quite
helpful when I started working on the zeroconf
extension. There's a number of chapters dealing with
extensions and Zend engine internals.
