Hello, all!

I'm trying to use the Perl Tk module to display data from an existing program. I've been able to call a Perl function from C and pass scalar and string data correctly, but I'm having problems with passing arrays by reference and with linking in the Tk and Class::Struct modules.

I can send the array address as an int and read the correct number within Perl, but all of my efforts to dereference it show an empty array.

Compiling the program with the Tk and Class::Struct invocations works, but it core dumps when I try to run it.

Does anyone have an example of how to do this? Given a set of code that works (passing an array by reference to a module), I'm sure I can figure out the details of my particular problem.

Thanks very much,

Diane.
