Hi folks,

I am trying to embed perl in C. I downloaded Turbo C 2.01 compiler & installed it.

I got an example program from website 
#include <EXTERN.h>               /* from the Perl distribution     */
    #include <perl.h>                 /* from the Perl distribution   
+  */


    static PerlInterpreter *my_perl;  /***    The Perl interpreter    
+***/


    int main(int argc, char **argv, char **env)
    {
        my_perl = perl_alloc();
        perl_construct(my_perl);
        perl_parse(my_perl, NULL, argc, argv, (char **)NULL);
        perl_run(my_perl);
        perl_destruct(my_perl);
        perl_free(my_perl);
    }

I didn't understand the functionality of this program, still i tried to compile it but got the following errors 
 Compiling E:\PERL_INC.C:
 Error E:\PERL_INC.C 1: Unable to open include file 'EXTERN.H'
 Error E:\PERL_INC.C 2: Unable to open include file 'PERL.H'
 Error E:\PERL_INC.C 5: Declaration syntax error
 Error E:\PERL_INC.C 10: Undefined symbol 'my_perl' in function main
 Error E:\PERL_INC.C 12: Undefined symbol 'NULL' in function main
 Warning E:\PERL_INC.C 16: Parameter 'env' is never used in function m
