interface to dll

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

is it possible to write a perl program that can interface with a c .dll file? I would like to write a perl program that uses libvorbis.dll to decode ogg vorbis files.

If Ogg Vorbis munging is your business then you may want to check out the `Ogg::Vorbis` module. I can't vouch for it's usefulness having not used it but it looks promising. Also see this node concerning interfacing with DLLs. HTH `_________ broquaint`	[reply]

Assuming you're using Windows, Win32::API (alt.) should be what you're looking for. I believe it comes standard with ActivePerl, and you should be able to go Googling for examples right here on PerlMonks. --k.	[reply]
