If your application is a separate process, you need some kind of IPC (shared memory, pipes or such - see perlipc). Perl can interface libraries via XS (see perlxs and perlxstut), but not a separate address space. If you want to use perl from within that application, you need an embedded perl (see perlembed). perl -le'print map{pack c,($-++?1:13)+ord}split//,ESEL'	[reply]

Can Win32::OLE be used for interfacing? How could I tell? See I know what I mean. Why don't you? perl -le'print map{pack c,($-++?1:13)+ord}split//,ESEL'	[reply]
