Hi all, I am a newbie to perl and know nothing of Perl . I want to embed perl in my C code.I work on Visual Studio in Windows. The perl code should do something like this. 1) It should ask for user on command line to input 2 xml files and then it should handover the names of these files to my C code which will do post processing on the contents of these files. 2) The perl code should also be able to call my C functions based on the number entered on command line by the user. I have referred the document perlembed.pod and tried to execute the code in section "Maintaining a persistent interpreter" in visual studio C++ environment. But the output is not as expected in the document.The test.pl is never executed. I will just give a glimpse of what I want to do #include <EXTERN.h> #include <perl.h> static PerlInterpreter *my_perl = NULL; int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[]) { UInt8 char * arg1,*arg2; //Execute some C code over here. // Allocate a perl interpreter memory and then perl code should wait on DOS prompt for user to enter the file names and // these file names would be asssigned to arg1 and arg2.Now My C code will do processing on contents of these files. // And also I should be able to call some C functions from a perl script code.something like this number = perlgetnumber();// Number pressed by the user. //Call some Functions based on the number. // Deallocate the perl interpretr memory and quit. } Can anybody in the group give me Embedded (C and Perl) code . It will take a lot of effort to learn and do it. Please guide me. Thanks in Advance. Anand
