Hello, I am trying to embed Perl in a C++ application. I have a window that takes input, when user hits return, the input is sent to Perl for evaluation. I then want to display the input back to them in the window and display it differently for error versus normal output. I've searched the web, but can't seem to find a clear example of how to do this in C. Presently, after calling result = perl_eval_pv() to eval the user input, I do SvPV(result, PL_sa) and the result goes to my window. The result is a code indicating success etc. However, this leaves stdout and stderr still going to the shell where my app was launched. I would like a pointer to an example of this kind of thing being done so I can emmulate it. Thanks. -William
