In my projects, we develop real-time software to communicate with hundreds of remote systems and handle the events from or commands to them (average : 35000 events/day). Each type of remote system communicate through a dedicate program(s) in our system. We intend to re-design those programs so as to create them from a generic skeleton (C language) in which system-type specific handling routines would then be plugged in. Prior to integrate them, we would like to develop and test those routines with scripts (e.g.Perl). Now comes my question: once a Perl script is ready-for-production, how do i get it in the executable? Can i compile the Perl scripts into object modules (*.o) and link them with other *.o or should i first "cross-compile" them from Perl to c?
Thank you
