in reply to embedding Perl into C for Windows

Where does it crash? Can perl find power.pl?

Looks like you don't have  PERL_SYS_INIT3(&argc,&argv,&env); from http://perldoc.perl.org/perlembed.html#Fiddling-with-the-Perl-stack-from-your-C-program

That might be responsible for not finding power.pl

That example worked for me in 2011 :)

    Ditto on PERL_SYS_INIT3(&argc,&argv,&env);. It does nothing on no-threads Unix, but it mandatory on windows to setup process global (not interp/ithread global) data. Im not sure if it does something on ithreads unix.

      Hello bulk88, this was the missing link: 
      PERL_SYS_INIT3(&argc,&argv,&env);
PL_exit_flags |= PERL_EXIT_DESTRUCT_END;
PERL_SYS_TERM();

      I added these three commands - now it works! Many, many thanks - great! Greeting from Germany Frank

    Hello anonymous monk, thanks for your answer. The solution was: 
    PERL_SYS_INIT3(&argc,&argv,&env);
PL_exit_flags |= PERL_EXIT_DESTRUCT_END;
PERL_SYS_TERM();
