Thanks for the info! i have read the chapters that involve embedding perl from the panther book, i plan on reading the rest as soon as i can. it seems like a great book, chapter 19 talks about a simple way to do it but it doesn't go into much detail and chapter 20 (the one that i think goes in depth) is lost on me. I haven't read your reference to the documentation though so i will definitely check those out.

EDIT: On second thought i have read your first link, although this being my 5th or so time through it i think i might understand it a little better. Where i get lost is where it starts talking about xsubbs, and calling from the stack is a bit fuzzy.

From what i make of it, I'm supposed to include the perl core files, adjust the C environment to handle the interpreter, and then i can run my scripts by putting the script file name in the argv array as if it was from the terminal. is that about right? Now im starting to feel like i was over thinking it...
