Thanks, I'll look into that. I might have to get the program translated from Delphi to C though. ;) As it apparentlly just includes the perl header files and goes from there.

    Perl itself exists as a DLL (I assume Windows since you said Delphi). The perl.exe we all know just loads that and calls it. You can load that DLL yourself. In C++ it's easy to override specific functions like what print() does, to work within your system. But you could start by seeing what's in that DLL and go from there.

    Ahh, I just found the part about active state's runtime. This may be just what I am looking for. :D

    UPDATE: Apparentally the FAQ is missing from perl.com, and the author of it is also MIA. Grrrr....

      if you're willing to go to the expense, the activestate perl developer's kit contains the requisite tools to develop perl com objects.
