Greetings all,

I am currently researching solutions to a project that involves the collection of images from a MJPEG stream, their decompression to DIB, a series of semi-complex operations on the image bits, and finally their compression back to jpeg.
For performance reason, the decompression, manipulation and compression operations are performed via the IPP (Intel Performance Primitives) library. I have not been able to use the aforementioned library in perl and have therefore written that portion in C#.
Here comes the real question. While I have to perform the IPP related portion in c# (sort of) I would like not to abandon completely the perl portions written through the years. I am therefore seeking your wisdom about the best way to exchange data "efficiently" (read in memory) across different processes written in different languages.
Currently, because I am developing in Win32, I can write a dotNET wrapper to the Win32::MMF through the Activestate PerlNet or access the Memory mapped Files via P/Invoke in C#. Ideally I would like to find a solution to this communication problem not linked to a specific "product" (Perlnet) and possibly cross-platform (Mono and Perl).

Thank you in advance for your insights.

Yours truly,

Cpt. Skripto
