Hi,

Every time I consult the perlembed documentation (which happens very rarely) I come across directions like: 
cc -o interp interp.c `perl -MExtUtils::Embed -e ccopts -e ldopts`

[download]
and I wonder how that command can be modified to work in the windows cmd.exe shell.
My C compiler is gcc, so I try: 
C:\_32>gcc -o interp interp.c `perl -MExtUtils::Embed -e ccopts -e ldo
+pts`
gcc: error: `perl: No such file or directory
gcc: error: unrecognized command line option '-MExtUtils::Embed'

[download]
Is there a way to structure the command so that it works in the cmd.exe shell ?

My workaround has always been to redirect the ouput of perl -MExtUtils::Embed -e ccopts -e ldopts to a file, removing the newline between the ccopts and ldopts outputs, so that everything is on the one line - and then copy'n'paste that line into the cmd.exe command.
Works fine ... but there must be something better ?

Cheers,
Rob
