I have a C program that uses the pthreads library on Linux (RH9). While I am a reasonable C programmer, I need to add some heavy RegEx code, and Perl is right for the job.

What I'd like to know is whether or not I'm likely to run into problems of mystical proportions if I try to integrate perl into this C program... the technical approach would be along the lines of that described here:

(although they don't say anything about threads... looks like the text is from pre 5.8.x's 'stable' threads.)

thanks!
