Dear Friends , I am compltely into c/c++ programming, currently I have written a c funtion in a .so file which looks like the one given below 
char *abc()
{
    char *p;
    p="Hello world";
    return p;
}

[download]
if this function is executed via a.c program(a.out as executable) the output is perfect. I want to have the result displayed onto the browser via the perl in an htm file.

so according to the module whenever the submit button is pressed at the client side, I want to execute the function from the .so file via the perl file.

I looked for help in goole.com, but all the results that I am getting is only for NS(netscape server) and Livewire. I am using apache under RHL 7.2 so kindly suggest me. but i have never worked on any scripting languages. so I would appreciate if some guide lines cud be given to me Its very urgent. Thank you for your patience
