Monks, thank you very much. Someone send me this very good link on calling perl from C/C++. Thank you very much for the same. The link is here

Am though getting one last problem, when am compiling (actually during linking) my program is not able to find out the correct library. is there anything missing? 

# gcc -g  -o test_socket test_socket.c   `perl -MExtUtils::Embed -e cc
+opts -e ldopts`

/tmp/ccgdPXUT.o(.text+0x34): In function `xs_init':
test_socket.c:19: undefined reference to `boot_Socket'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status


test_socket.c
=============

#include <EXTERN.h>     
#include <perl.h>       

static PerlInterpreter *my_perl; 

static void xs_init (pTHX);

EXTERN_C void boot_DynaLoader (pTHX_ CV* cv);
EXTERN_C void boot_Socket (pTHX_ CV* cv);

EXTERN_C void xs_init(pTHX)
 {
        char *file = __FILE__;
        /* DynaLoader is a special case */
        newXS("DynaLoader::boot_DynaLoader", boot_DynaLoader, file);
        newXS("Socket::bootstrap", boot_Socket, file);
 }

int main(int argc, char **argv, char **env)
{

       
        PERL_SYS_INIT3(&argc,&argv,&env);
        my_perl = perl_alloc();
        perl_construct(my_perl);
        PL_exit_flags |= PERL_EXIT_DESTRUCT_END;
        perl_parse(my_perl, xs_init, argc, argv, (char **)NULL);

        call_argv("mymethod", G_DISCARD , args);
        perl_destruct(my_perl);
        perl_free(my_perl);
        PERL_SYS_TERM();
}


mysocket.pl 
===========

#!/usr/local/bin/perl
use Socket;


sub mymethod()
{
    @arr=gethostbyname('localhost');
    print "@arr \n";
}



running procedure
=================
as per the material
this binary has to be run like

#./test_socket mysocket.pl
