Thanks for your help - I've arrived at some new questions as a result!

1) "perl -MExtUtils::Embed -e ccopts -e ldopts" does not work for me when I use it to pass parameters to my cc statement. The cc compiler complains of many unknown options. I took a look at the Config.pm file, and it references the gcc compiler. I don't believe we have that installed on our UNIX server - perhaps the admins loaded a precompiled binary of Perl, rendering ExtUtils useless for me in this fashion?

2) I did use ExtUtils to produce an xsinit.c file, as follows: 

perl -MExtUtils::Embed -e xsinit -- -o xsinit.c -std

But I can not compile this. When I try 
cc xsinit.c codeGen.c -o codeGen -L/lib/pa1.1 -L/usr/local/lib -I/usr/
+local/include -I/opt/perl/lib/5.6.1/PA-RISC1.1-t
hread-multi/CORE -L/opt/perl/lib/5.6.1/PA-RISC1.1-thread-multi/auto/Dy
+naLoader/DynaLoader.a -L/opt/perl/lib/5.6.1/PA-RISC1.1-threa
d-multi/CORE -L/opt/perl/lib/5.6.1/PA-RISC1.1-thread-multi/CORE/libper
+l.so -lmalloc -ldld -ldld -lperl -lm -lsec -lnsl -lnm -lpthr
ead -lc -lndir -lcrypt -Dbool=char -DHAS_BOOL

(gruesome, I know - I've tried to link/add every possible library) I get the following: 
xsinit.c:
codeGen.c:
/usr/ccs/bin/ld: Unsatisfied symbols:
   boot_DynaLoader (first referenced in xsinit.o) (code)

[download]
My goal is to compile "codeGen.c", which contains an embedded Perl interpreter. What should I be loading in order to use boot_DynaLoader w/o compile problems? I can't think of any more directories to include.

3) this problem only seems to arise when I attempt to use glob(). What is it about that function that would result in these errors?

Thanks again good monks- I very much appreciate the help
