I don't follow your remark about a C++ DLL calling a Perl script?

From your explanations, it sounds like you have an executable called "botcore.exe" and a DLL called "botbehavior.dll". They give you the .ini and .h files to include in your own compiled version of botbehavior.cpp which is botbehavior.dll.

So your problem is how do you create your own "botbehavior.dll" that implements your desired functionality. It seems that you want to do this strictly in Perl. Well...it seems like it is possible to do but possibly only by using ActiveState's dev kit. I've never bought or used their kit myself so I cannot tell you from first hand experience how difficult it is to do this with their software. You should probably contact them to find out if their software totally meets your requirements.

If you had Microsoft Visual C++ then you would have no problem since you can create DLL's and code in C++ with their software; however, you do not seem to know C++ and do not seem to have a desire to learn C++ and that package would also cost lots of $$$ so your options are somewhat limited.

Perhaps you should find a different bot program that is open source?

Good luck.
